Default is this cam a good choice

I am putting a 2000 ls1 motor out of a c5 in my truck and thought this might be a good cam since I will want my power lower with the weight of the truck.

If you are running stock exhaust manifolds...

But why would you put so much timing on the exhaust?

Personally, I wouldnt use that cam. There is too big of a split between the intake and exhaust durations. Also the LSA is too wide. I'd look into the comp 212/218 114 LSA cam. It also has lift at about .525". See the post in the truck section under my name about a 216/216 XE comp cam in a 5.3L truck. I like to use single pattern cams in LS1, which have the same intake and exhast durations.

I vote the TR 220 on a 114 LSA. Its raited at 1500-6500 RPM but I find it had to believe that it would run that high.

As everyone else said, that seems like a lot of durration on the exhaust to me.
