I already had another cam , decided to to with 217/223. Wanted a cam that didn't have much lope to it. I'm giving up power but o well .

How much do you want for the cam? Is it new and did you find out what the lift is?

602/598 lift. I gave $389 for it. I would sell it for $350. John bewley told me he did back to back comparison with something like 605 lift vs 680 lift and gained .5 hp. So higher lift wont gain much.

See my problem is I don't know anything about cams. I'm still a newbie. All I want to do is build a reliable DD with at least 500rwhp. My truck is a 2008 mitsubishi raider with a 5.3 swap. I have a built auto 4l60e tranny. I had an idea of what I wanted based off hot rods build but the cam they listed is discontinued. So now I'm at a halt.

That cam would work well. Its LJMS turbo stage 1, so it will be good for a DD. I went with a cam just a bit smaller but that's because mine is a 6 speed. It probably would have been fine for me but wanted to be safe.
