find a stall as soon as you can, other then that have fun. look on the ls1tech classified for a deal. If you can get a tb stall for cheap I would throw that in if you dont think you will have money to do the high stall for a while.

IMO I would try it and see how it feels. I had a bigger/choppy cam in my 4.8 ecsb and it ran great. sounded nice. bolt ons stock heads, and stock stall, Was good enough to trap 97mph in the 1/4 with 4850 weight. But you will need a decent stall. If your ever going to tow, dont go any higher than a 3200. You could find a tight 3500 and be ok. But The bad thing with these 4.8's is they are better suited to either boost, or rev really high. So I say if your going to stay NA, get that cam and some ported heads that have a smaller cc, and put down 350-375whp at 6500rpms. With a decent stall you should see mid 13's with that cam and some headers. Keep the gears, youll need them. Also smaller tires are your friend.

when the cam was in my 6.0 i was turning 6500 rpms so u should see that no problem could probably go as high as 6700. as for the stall I had a 3200 and i thought it was to small in the 6.0 and when i had this cam and the stall in the 408 it was just too small. Id go 3600 from circle d everything i have heard about them is good from there customer service to there product. And then when u get a chance get ur heads P&P and id suggest hand and not C and C because of a more detailed job, then a nice 100-150 shot and you will be happy for a while the only thing will be ur trans, might want to look into a stock used 80e with just a shift kit before the spray
