On one hand, kicking myself for not going with other stuff i have. On the other, glad that i did it and found out that it's trash. I had someone reach out to me that has the same cam in a RWD 2008 TBSS. He did a whopping 358 rwhp. More static compression, 243 heads, 4L70E vs my 4L80E. Oh, an an open cut out vs. me running through a full exhaust system. Only 22 hp peak gain. We both agreed that this is NOT the cam if you're chasing power. The same goes for other similar cams out there... the TN, etc.
Its all marketing hype. They are geared towards people that just want a cam with a lope, Don't want to loose any low end power, and don't want to change the stall.

I'm the opposite, I had forgotten how good it is to have one, even in a daily.

I'm only anti-converter because
1. I don't have one yet
2. I'm too cheap to buy one

Not going to lie, I'd be disappointed. I ran 13.88 with a stock 5.3 in an ecsb back in the early 2000's. No clue what the specs of your pet name cam is though...

Where did you weigh your truck? 4800 sounds kinda heavy for a RC.

My extended cab only weighed 4700
