I was going to LS9 cam as well but after another discussion with Martin @ Tick, I went with a turbo friendly small-displacement specific cam of his recommendation, looking forward to seeing this 4.8 breathe DEEP!

hard to beat the $120 shipped price of the LS9 cam. Good info in here and lots of good imput. Wish i too had the $900 for a custom cam/kit. But living on single income and being single father and trying to play with the car doesnt leave much for the car lol. Looking forward to more info in this thread.

Yeah the GM cams sure do seem nice when it comes to cost, but unfortunately I need a cam designed more for torque in the bottom end. Something to get my big truck moving, haha, and to have that nice lope So it's time to save! I'm iffy on buying used cams though so I might be saving a lot..
