Just a question, I have a 4.8 thats getting a single T70 and the cam in the engine is a 224/226 .581 112. Will this work for a 500ish hp goal? Or should I look into a custom cam?

I know people are trying to be secretive about their builds but man I didn't think people wouldn't vote.

You got all the variations and proponents of each of them. No split, reverse split, normal split. then lift most run medum to about 600 much past that hard on springs. I went to 590 with 8019 afr springs rated to 650 lift but boost is harder on springs than Na so good to have extra headroom.I should maybe go back to 1.7 rockers and cut my lift down to 550 or so.
Lsa is mostly how much lope you want although most think you blow boost out more with low lsa.I personally didn't want lopey cam. Ling uses the gt7 in just about all their fi builds including even their bigger cube ones.Very streetable.

I voted for EPP cam and that is currently what I am running on my Rear mount turbo 370. I'm still in the break in so no numbers yet, but I can tell you even without a tune, the car sounds sick with this cam, and the mid RPM response is excellent even without a tune, she idles @ 900 with a light chop.
