A TR220 in a 5.3 is a large cam.Streetable yes but still a large cam.In a 4.8 a 224 is gonna be extremely large.I wouldn't go over a 220 in that small engine.

I disagree..
the 224 is by no means to big for a 4.8L...
in fact, I havnt seen one yet that performs as good as this cam does, in the 4.8L
just takes a little more effort in getting it tuned, nomore than a 5.3L with a 224 on a 112
