Yup, and it should sound nasty in 4.8!

EPP has a blower cam that has some lope to it.. It may be a bit much for a 4.8 though.

Lightbulb Think about this for a second

Think about this for a second, you're asking for a "blower" cam with lope.

A characteristic of a "Good" blower cam is that it minimizes lope, which is a consequence of (in some cases) excessive valve overlap (useful in high rpm N/A engines). I am not sure how you can attain "lope" and not loose alot of the useful force fed air that will bypass filling the cylinder.

If I am wrong, someone chime in. This is just what I have "heard" regarding camshafts used in Forced Induction applications.

Lope and good blower cam are exact opposites.

Here's a link to Vinci's trucker cam in a 5.3. This is Vinci's blower cam for trucks. Sharpshooter and I run it, and are very happy with it. AKlowriderZ71 runs this cam as well, along with a few others who run it N/A. Specs are 216/224 551/551 115 lsa
