I like the looks of your future setup, I bet that cam will work nicely in your 4.8

I took a few days to think about it, but finally pushed the checkout button.
Its funny how a guy can spend so much time drooling over parts and then after finally coming up with the money its hard to turn loose of lol.
I opted out of the lifters...figured I'd use that $ for valve spring tools, gaskets, etc.

damm i was gonna say a 224 cam would be better but since you already ordered its a little late.
you can find alot of parts on here cheap look on ls1tech i bought a cam for 250-fast intake/tb 800-used pacesetters 150-lid 60-springs 150-pushrods new 120

all that for around 1500 and it made 400 rwhp through a locked auto

ps i have a fast 78mm intake for sale if you wanted to clean up your engine bay and add some power
