    Here is the Cam I am putting in my Vortec Tahoe. Its mild with good power. It had been recommended. I will have it running by the end of next week.

    Isky Cam RR-257/265-HYD

    Duration @ .050
    In = 209
    Ex = 217

    Lift with 1.5 Arms
    In = .465
    Ex = .485

    Overlap 37*
    LSA 112*

    Whats your mileage? Im at 100k and my lifters are still high and tight. I have changed the push rods, gone to dual springs, and roller rockers. Magnafluxed the head, 3 angle job, new seals and machined the spring seats for the new springs.

    I work around the corner from Isky's factory. So I was able to go into their shop and buy it directly.

    You will also need a PCM tune. I am using Westers' but Nelsons or Wheatley will work fine also.

    Their cam kit part number is 210257/265
    It includes:
    -Cam
    -Pushrods
    -Valve Springs
    -Shims
    -Retainers.

    Summit has it

    lots of info on Iskys Site
