Looing at putting a cam in my 08 nnbs 4.8L. Wanted to see if it was a 3 bolt or 1 bolt? I have been told both ways and just wanted to make sure before I go to get one. Also the truck is a daily driver lifted on 37s. I want it to have a mean sound and wondered if you guys had any suggestions on which cam to use or had any links to guys running them or video clips?

Thanks

 

your's is a one bolt cam, however you can simply switch cam gear's and go with a 3 bolt cam (more options). Dont over cam it with those big tires you will kill what little low end you have.

 

planning on gearing it to a 4.88 with the tires and having a wheatley tune done also

 

any other help or suggestions?

 

yea yours is a one bolt,,hey bro forgot to mention,u need the z06 valve springs or better,and the ls7 cam sprocket(3 bolt).

 

go with a performance valve spring, not a stock vette spring. ls6 springs were not meant for the ramp rates of today's cam's. they may hold up, they may not, it's a crapshoot in my eyes

 

hahaha, i figured as soon as you saw some clips of cammed trucks, u would get the bug!! im game for what ever cam u pick bro, i got the tools, and im only about 10 houses down from u!!!

 

also.....i know you dont want to put a converter in it, so loook at the comp xr265hr, 212/218 522/529 on a114 lsa. It will sound good and healthy, AND your not going to have to worry about drivability, nor a converter.

 

i got part numbers here for ya since parts are sittin next to me. save you some searchin

3 bolt ls7 sproket 12586481
bolts for the sproket 12556127
and youd need a balancer bolt also 12557840

 

schino, im assuming u did the ls7 cam sprocket as well, thanks for the info, i will be the one helping him put it in, so this info is great, thanks bro!!
