Best Camshaft for Offroad use 5.3 LS Do yall know what would be a good cam for an offroad build? It's going to have around 10 PSI of boost in the future as well.
Stock Crank, forged Rods/pistons
It's going in a 1997 Jeep Cherokee that's about 3400LBS
I'm looking for a RPM range around 1200-7000 or 1000-5000, if y'all know of any cams that have good timing for this application
-Thanks!

awesome I'll probably get that one then, it would be ok if It occasionally rev/drive it higher than 5500rpm though right, might need that if I'm stuck I'm mud or something

The truck cam is a decent performer. It sounds VERY mild (some can't even notice it with a full exhaust) and makes good all-around power. Its not your only option by FAR.
For example, Lunati makes a cam with the same 212/218 duration, but with more aggressive lobes and 2 more degrees of advance ground in. Slightly less overall lift, but you're running factory 5.3 castings so thats not much of an issue.
You'll have to pick behavior, sound, etc if you want a more specific cam.
