Question Z+220 or LT228 for the 4.8

What do yall think about these cams from SDPC (found on the right)
I have a 4.8 tuned, CAI, and (LTs on the way). Its a DD and i want that "lumpy cam sound" but with good streetability if possible. Should
I go with something other than these?
Thanks Guys.

220 should give you a nice bump.

For what your looking for I think a custom spec'd 212/218 on a 112 LSA may be just the ticket! Or maybe even the comp 216/220!

I think the 228 IMO in the 4.8 for a daily driver and "good" streetability would not be very friendly for a daily driver but again thats just my opinion. Would be alot better off with something a little smaller 212-220 range somewhere in there.

I think that their are few guys with 224s in their 4.8s though.
