A better cam for what purpose? "Better" can be very opinionated. I have the stock 190/190 114 cam in my 5.3 and right now I consider it a better choice than most because I have a 3.08 rear and it's my DD.

Edel 2215 specs: 220/220 300/300 .510/.510 111

I put the Edel 2215 in because of the carb. now that I'm running aftermarket EFI I was wondering if I need a different cam.
thanks for your time...

Ah, I see. Generally, cams for EFI have less overlap in order to create a strong vacuum signal. So the cam that you have now may not be optimal, but I don't know if you NEED a new cam. How does it run now? And what do you use the car for? What trans and rear gears?

Well, if it runs great then I wouldn't bother with a new cam.
