I have a 4.8 that I bought really cheap, I wanted to put my supercharger and cam shaft in it. Has anyone done this and what does it run like?

Yes there are plenty of people that have done it. I have a 4.8 with a turbo and cam. 4.8's are strong little motors
Name: Mark,
God created turbo lag so nitrous trucks could have a chance.

Another here with a boosted 4.8L. Yes they ARE strong little engines that will easily handle a cam and forced induction. And did I mention that I still average about 19mpg on the highway with a decent amount of power? (check out my sig)
~ Forged engine of some type ~ Ball bearing turbo of an unconfirmed size ~ 4L8000 trans ~ Beefy fuel system ~
4.8s arent worht modding... i read that on the interweb. they say you have to run large cube motors

it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
what kind of supercharger?i had a magnacharger at 8lbs with z06 cam on my 08' 4.8 and it ran pretty good.
go for it i love my 4.8
I have laughed and pooped on all the 4.8's I've driven because they were just as slow as the 6-cylinder in Blazer but I have not driven one on boost and that helps level the field.
yeah, our 2007 4.8L OBS Crewcab was a dog in stock form.
