look up 01thunder on the board he is runnning a 224 224 in his 4.8 with good results.

Or go to the part numbers thread I beleive in this section and ask what the number is them guys are really good on getting the number 2 ya. Also you will need some tuning done for the cam to work..

the chop and lope comes mostly from your amount of overlap a cam has not just LSA
to figure out overlap
take intake/exhaust duration and divide by 4
then subtract the lsa
then times it by 2
example
Trex
242/248 608/612 110
242+248=490/4=122.5-110=12.5*2=25 which is the amount of overlap the Trex has

you should get the 222/224...that one works great!! my friend has it on his 4.8 and is running a 13.4 all motor in mild weather and a 12.4 with nitrous....if i'm not mistaken he's the 2nd fastest 4.8 in the nation or around there.
