I can only find 5.3 Threads about cams..
I have to replace a dead lifter in the 4.8 and I decided to just do a cam while I am in there.. I was just wondering whatever body else has done..
4.8L in a 2000 GMC
My Mods:
K&N FIPKII
Flowmaster 3" Pipe all the way back from Ypipe
Ls1 Electric Fans
TT3000 Stall
Built Tranny w/ Shift Kit and Aftermarket Servos
3.73 gear and Eaton Posi
im just trying to get an Idea..

The 5.3 and 4.8s are exactly the same, other than the rods, piston, and maybe the crank but I'm not sure about the crank.
The 4.8s have a longer stroke than all the other motors(5.3, 5.7, 6.0)
Any cam for the other motors will work it just depends on HOW big you want to go.

I know they are the same when it comes to the basic block, I was meaning the fact that the 4.8 is a smaller motor.. I dont know what is best for the 4.8, I would hate to get a mild cam for a 5.3 and it be to much for the 4.8.. Get what I am saying??

yeah, but most 4.8s are fine with running a decent size cam.
I know of a 4.8 5-speed and he ran a TR220 cam and full bolt-ons and put down 330rwhp.
