low to mid range cam that works on zo6 springs??
okay im about to start my engine build and going stock bottom end, 5.3 ported heads, zo6 springs .550, Ls6 intake, and becuase this is in a s-10 truck i cant run headers, but will have true duals free flowing, i want a cam that makes low to mid range power on the A4 trans, also i plan on adding nos system in the future.
thanks for any input anyone has!

The Comp 216/220 looks like a good cam for ya.

y can't u run headers? my friend has headers on his '55 with an LS1 in it... they were custom made, but y wouldn't a set of camaro long tubes work on an S10? i would use the 212/218-.522/.527-114 cam in an S10, with a converter around 26-2800, depending on the weight of the truck... the smaller cam won't need any tuning, where the bigger cams will need some...

The COMP Xtreme 216/220 .525/.532 114 seems to be the cam to go with in this case, but then again, I would do everything possible to get some headers on that thing to go with a bigger cam.

That is a really bad idea. Maybe you should call Thunder Racing before you try that.
You know you should spend the $150 bucks for the 918 springs...best case you're going to be out a valve or two, a piston or two and a lot of labor when you learn why not to use LS6 springs with a TR220.
If you have to use LS6 springs, the Hot Cam is the biggest cam you can safely use.
