white 4.8, I am doing a similar build at the moment. My engine has 165k so I'm not too worried about going all out with the supporting mods for now because I plan on building a larger engine at a later date. For right now, I'm doing a isky triple 12 cam with isky springs. I plan on running 10-12 psi in hopes of 500 or so hp and I don't plan on revving the **** out of it. I also think that its probably a good idea to change the timing chain and gears, theyve been known to bust.
