I've been doing some research on doing the z06 cam swap in a 2008 4.8. I was wondering what all of your opinions would be on it. This is for a buddy of mine that wants to have a lil more power for a easily affordable price. His mode are intake full exhaust and a tune. What would he need to do for his cam to work?
i ran that cam on my blown 4.8,it was good with the blower,but sucked all motor after i removed the magnacharger.
ls6 valve springs and maybe some push rods for extra assurance
Needs to be a new style cam.
from what i read, it'll also raise the power band, so be prepared to run in the upper range more often.
springs are needed. rods are recommended. i would tell him to go a lil bit bigger on the cam. configuration of truck?Quote:

i ran a 212/218 cam from comp in my 5.3,and it ran good.
I wouldn't do it in a 4.8 DD truck. You will lose too much low-end torque. The low-lift version of the Comp 212/218 would be a much better choice. Or one of the Vinci 210/218 cams.
what would perform better than a 212/218 for the 4.8/5.3
i think he's refering to a 3 bolt instead of a 1 bolt???Quote:

So he would need a gen4 cam if he does the z06 cam what's the specs on the 212/218 cam and it's from comp or crane? Would a 06 6.0 in a ss be a gen 3 or gen4?
Would he need a stall convertor also bc he's wanting to avoid that
