I would go with something smaller, according to Dirt_Track_Racer, that cam in a 4.8 really needed a higher stall torque converter, meaning it lost low end.....

IMO, i would go with 206/212 .515/.522 @ 112, that is what I plan on going with for my 4.8.....

probably be better to let us know what you have done already so we can help you out as best as possible...

If you dont have gears, stall or headers that would be a good start before the cam...
