I would not advize this cam on a na 4.8, looking at the numbers I think it would be slower anywere under 5000 rpm, the lsa is the big killer. I think an ls2 cam would be a better choice.

Thats asking for plenty out of cheap replacement cam in a 4.8, I have a 212-212 562lift 112lsa in mine but its turbo, The power comes in at 3000 and pulls hard to 6500 were I shift it and im sure it would pull to 7200ish. Remeber at the same rpm the 4.8s piston is moving slower then any other ls motor, you put more dur in the cam you may move more air but your not letting it build any compression (no torque). What you want is less dur more lift tight lsa. Id go for something around 215 dur 580 lift and a 110-111 lsa unless you plan on running more then a 4000 stall.

That sounds pretty close to me, gearing a stall will make a big difference on what you can get away with, this cam should work good with a 3000-3600 stall, you could bump it up to 218-222 if you had a 4000 stall.
