Dont waist your time with that little thing. Its worth 30rwhp with tuning. Go with the TR224 on a 112 for it to pull hard up to 6500+. Its not to big for a 4.8, and lopes nice. With this cam you should easily hit some high 13s.

Dont be scared to wind that short stroke up to 7k.

I would go ahead and keep the rockers with that cam. The lobes arnt too agressive and your new lift will be 568/575 which is fine with the 918. Just about any hardeded pushrod is going to be the same as the next one so go with whose's ever you perfer.

This might not be what you want to hear, but if anything like what happened to me goes your way, you will prolly leave that cam in there longer than you plan on it. I bought a 218/224 cam, which is exactly what I wanted. Once I got it I got the cam checked out by Comp and it turns out it's a 216/220. I tried to sell it, and no one wanted it. I decide to put it in my truck since I can't find another 218/224, then everyone wanted the damn thing, but I still couldn't find a replacement, so it went in. Now I'm trying to do it all again. Everyone is wanting it, but I can't seem to get a cam like I want.
