Im picking up a 4.8 from an 08 Silverado to use in my turbo build. Motor currently has this in it. Im told it was spec'd by LJMS for twin S366's. Heres the cam card for whays in the motor. Im game to change it out if its necessary but otherwise I'd prefer to keep it. Car is a '98 TA, 9" w/3.00 gear, 28" tire, guessing ~3500 with me in it. Still need to buy tranny and stall. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (especially ones with personal experience doing similar)
I was trying to decide whether or not to stick with an LS6/stock TB or go with a Vic Jr, w/ elbow, and 90mm TB. Any suggestions for a converter and gear? If you would recommend going with another cam I'm all ears too.
Thats somewhat of a contradictory statement in itself. Changing the LSA will directly change your valve open and close events. every number does in fact affect how the cam responds so saying "its just a number" isn't entirely accurate IMO Something in the 224/228 on a 115ish would have been my choice or something in that range in a 4.8 but again its neither of our builds so at that point its merely opinion.
