I always hear that, but it works, and is streetable. I wouldn't tow with it, and tuning takes some work. I know someone who had a setup close (maybe not as high a lift) to that, and that was a bad 4.8 (til he sold the truck). Check with Z284thgen. He was the one who had it. I would agree with at least a 3K, springs, & the 7.4s... but he'll be good to go with the 6L.

Well, yeah. A 6.0 will be able to handle the fuel better due to it's displacement.

As for the 4.8 config, noone should knowingly build that config. OK, someone built a 4.8 "close" to it (and even that didn't lift as high) but the cam we're discussing in this thread would suck on the street and surge like a MF'r in a 4.8.

All along he had a 6.0 anyway; which will still need springs, pushrods, injectors, tuning and a converter to run right on the street.
