i mean Randy does know his **** but 15-20 hp & tq seems a lil on the high side to me.
that's coming from someone who has a tr220...
i really would like to try one of his cams but my junk runs way too good like it is to change something out.

with your convertor and gear, you will be ok.... smaller cam would work alot better, cuz the 4.8 does lack bottom end tq. Mine put down 305 I think, It pulled much better up top obviously

I installed a 224 in a 4.8 nearly 2 years ago that had come out of a 6.0. I also put in some 1.8 Scorpions. Installed Comp 918s and had the PCM reflashed by TSP. It has 25% underdrive and electric fans. All the top end stuff except long tubes and CNCed heads. With the Scorpions the lift is close to 580. It still runs like a scalded dog and I haven't had to ever turn a wrench on it since it left my driveway. Go for it.
