4.8L what is its potential?

Twin Screw Blower... TVS1900 or so.
Your not going to get more low end torque from a cam that is larger than stock in a 4.8.
I just dynoed a stock 2003 4.8 the other day. 2000rpms it made something around 220ftlb tq and 89hp. Going up in cam size will only shift the hp/tq curve up further into the rpms not lower rpms.

A better question would be: how many pickles can you pull out of a frog's ***?
Or,
How many pancakes does it take to shingle a roof? (Purple, snakes don't have armpits)....... (It's not my fault you're not on shrooms or cid).
Go start your own thread, but a cam won't. Your closest options are swapping to 5.3 internals, a 6.0 swap, FI, or 4.11 gears. There is no cam, and there is no easy or cheap answer.

Best cam duration to wake up lower end torq for 4.8?
The real little "truck torque" cams, 206° absolute max on the intake, are the only ones that won't hurt it too much. 200° would probably be better. A small motor like that doesn't max out the exh port flow, therefore doesn't need much, if any, duration split. A tight LSA like 110° will help. Don't expect miracles
