    2008 4.8 zo6 cam

    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?

    from what i read, it'll also raise the power band, so be prepared to run in the upper range more often.
