I've already got 4.11 gears and a 2800-3000 stall. so what would be a good sounding cam.
I am guessin you dont just want a good sounding cam? you want good performance to I would hope...
I would look into something with around a 220 duration on a 112 LSA, Something like the TR/TSP220 or 224 both are proven cams and will sound good in the 4.8.. I wouldnt go any bigger than a 224 tho without a bigger converter..
Those are both good cams. The 220 is proven on the 4.8s and 5.3sQuote:

The TR220 has a pretty choppy idle in a 5.3 and so does the 224, Would sound slightly choppier in a 4.8Quote:

Something like this 215/ 223 .604 / .610 112 LSA would sound pretty nasty in a 4.8, Not sure it would perform the greatest. But who knows Ive seen some good size duration and lift in some 4.8s..
ts 224 112 +2 is my vote, post a vid when done!
heres when i had my 4.8 cammed

LS6 springs aren't good for .560+ lift.Quote:

This cam with 4.10 and no stall SUCKED BAD from a dig and the truck would jerk a little coming up on stops. I wouldnt recommend running anything similar to this cam in a 4.8 without a converter. It did good from a 25-35 mph roll and the sound turned LOTS of heads. Good luck on picking a cam and hope to see your video up soon.
i've got a brand new 2800-3000 stall sitting in my room. just getting around to putting it in is another haha
I saw your video on there before and that was the cam i was wanting. sounds awesomeQuote:

well shoot man atleast do the stall, even if u dont put a cam in right away. Thats what im doin for now and i still love it. But add the spray too, that always helps.lol
It's my trucks little brother! Haha that cam does sound incredibly nasty in that truck.Quote:

Sorry but ima have to call BS, unless u have the dyno sheet to post up..
Same thing I was going to say, I have NEVER seen a cammed only 5.3 putting down anymore than 350-360rwhp. And thats on the high side. Going to have to pull the BS card until I see a graph or video.. HEADS and CAM 5.3s usually put down 375-400rwhpQuote:
