The lope is nasty, it really depends on what LSA you got it with though.

just for reference; the cam I have in my sig requires a tune. Doesn't like to stay running when coming to a stop. Nice choppy idle though. It's the same as the "trucker" cam but with 114 lsep instead of 115 of the trucker. So you would definately want to go with something smaller.

not tryin to steal the thread, but do most mail order tunes take care of the "tuning" or does it HAVE to be dyno tuned? Also, what's the biggest cam you can put in the 4.8 and still use stock valvetrain????
