look at comp LSr cams for the 4.8-5.3 i dont think they require flycutting but they're also some all out performer cams...

Why such a big cam in a small motor?

Just know the ms4 is great on ls1s just thought maybe the ms3 would work better since it has smaller cubes

Yea I wouldn't run that in an all out track car in a 4.8, just because you can overcam it which will make it perform like ****

I wouldnt even consider putting that cam in a 4.8, it will be slow as hell until 5k rpm.

you want a cam that will work best with your gears and tranny combo.fill out a cam request at compcams ,and you will under stand ever thing involved in picking the best cam.a small cam is funner then over caming a engine.the 54-455-11 cam mite be a safe cam.

For the price of an MS3 cam kit you can buy a 5.3

we put a xer273hr in a 5.3 224/230 .581/.592 114lsa and it was on the verge of too big lol.. the heads are where you are gonna make your power not a huge camshaft.. a 6.0l is a better start for all motor.. i guess you could spray the hell out of that 4.8 tho haha.. maybe build a turbo for it..

More like a 5000 stall and 4:10's at least is what you will need for even that cam. Im doin a 232/234 in a 4.8 and i fully expect it to be a dog below 5k, boost will help though.

WAY too big for a 4.8L in a Camaro! I'd be focusing on the high-teens or low-220's intake duration (depending on bolt-ons, converter, etc)!

First thing u gotta do is raise the compression of the 4.8. By having the heads milled if u want to run long duration cams in a 4.8
Not necessary but helps improve acceleration response.

^^I'd agree and add along with more compression more cubic inches...even with 11:1 static compression, a high 230's intake duration camshaft is too big with 4.8L of displacement in about a 3500lb car.
