Z+221 vs hot cam Which would be a better cam for a 442 cutlass(80's) with a 4 speed? Goal is a daily driving weekend warrior, maybe a little bit of spray... Intake will be dual 4bbl throttle bodies, along with TSP stage 2 5.3 heads or TFS 205's, motor is a 5.3...

They're not that different so one isn't going to make or break it vs the other.
Personally i'd go for the second one if I only had those two to choose from
If I had others to choose from I wouldn't choose either of those two

Here are some great cams for a 5.3. https://www.texas-speed.com/c-3414-5...camshafts.aspx I have a 222/226 115+3 .600 lift in my 5.3 with TSP 5.3 heads in a 1992 2wd silverado 5 speed. The 212/218 113+3 .530 lift cam i had before i liked better. If i wasn't upgrading to a 6.0 i would swap the 212/218 cam back in. The 212/218 cam seems to be one the best overall cams in a 5.3.
