Yes but it won't be worth the swap.

Yes, gains will be minimal to none...if you're going to take the time to do a cam swap and funds are tight, I'd keep my eye open in the classifieds here for a good used cam like the famous Comp 212/218.

I'm assuming that you can get an LS1 cam for free or close to it? That's usually the case when one of theses threads pop up...

Youll need the springs and pushrods just like what you had in your car. That is a big cam for alittle 4.8, it will be a dog taking off..
