what you guys think?

+1 Your takeoff will prob be terrible with that.
good luck

i have a customers car with a camshaft like that.. sound isnt that gear... power is decent... but overall I rate it a Turd... there are Better sounding much more drivable and all around better.... you may have saved a little money.. but it will double your headache !

hmmm, well im hoping my 4.56's account for most of the tires. my stock block 4.8 with 180xxx has no problem taking off. and milling the head should get a bit more torque. ill try it out and worst comes to worst ill sell it on ls1tech for at least what i bought it for hahaha. im sure some mullet maro would want a mean sounding cam.

243 heads
i already have a 2800 stall
comp 918 springs
chromely push rods

i was thinking about this cam @.050 227/241 .564/.547 109 LSA
i love the way it sounds
the guy who has it right now has it in a 4.8 with no stall but ive been told id need like a 3500+ cam for it to even run right.

WHOA. That cam on a 9" lifted N/A 4.8L? YEAH RIGHT. If you are truely going FI soon, that cam would work. I would also throw on some ARP rod bolts to make sure it will all hold up. You will need some major RPMs to make power though. A 3600 stall is a minimum.
