I have been in the fence with what cam to buy for my build..
4.8 with a 4l80e circle d 2800 stall
I am using a Godspeed t3 turbo. ( will get more specs on it later tonight)
I just don't want to be over/under cammed/stalled!

I think I have all my parts rounded up, minus the cam.
I was planning on using the gm performance parts ls3 cam springs.
Will those be ok?

 

you looking for something quiet ? if your in a budget you could get a ls9 cam which is under 150 new at gm performance or sd parts and works really well you would just need springs which are also cheap.. the ls6 cam is good too but its more rare now days..

 

I am looking for a cam that will lope at idle and deliver respectable gains across the power band. If I had to choose about low end power over high rpm power I would choose the higher rpm range.

As far as cash goes I know cams aren't cheap when you need to upgrade everything else with it.. I am ready to upgrade push rods and springs too.

 

I think a LS9 cam will be a sweet choice bud. Otherwise go with a custom grind. Contact Pat G for a specd out cam.

 

I am wanting a cam that will sound narly at idle and lope. I don't want a oem ls cam.. Definitely don't want a cam that I will have to worry about fly cutting pistons for valve relief etc

 

Check out the Isky 212/.561-112 cam that Stock48 sells. Depending on where you set the idle it will lope and it should pull just fine up to 6500 on that 4.8.

 

TU0 from speed inc or the isky 112
Your idle lope will depend more on the tune IMO idle speed and timing.

 

Isky triple 12 never think twice

 

Either triple 12 from Stock48 or something like a 210/210 on a 112... Easy to over cam the 4.8 just trying to make it make noise.

Sure, it'll sound mean. And you'll get your *** handed to you because it takes forever to make power.
