Default Most power from a 4.8??

Im curoius to see who has made on the 4.8 N/A. I know theres not no many people modding them out there... Most just opt for the swap. But im all for makin my little 4.8 run with the bigger dogs, and honestly cant recall see anyone put better numbers then what i did. Im not going for bragging rights, i just want to see what im capable of..

crimson85 - if you want 400hp with boltons AND spray, all you need is a cam on the 4.8 and a few boltons and a 100shot and youre there. i was under the impression you wanted 400hp NA out of the 4.8 + the n2o

5speedsierra - im not sure on the highest 4.8L NA dyno numbers, you might check the dyno truck list on this site. i think the fastest 1/4mile et for a 4.8L NA was 01thunder with a 13.2-13.2 and he had worked heads, cam, FULL boltons, weiand intake, good sized stall, gears, lsd, he almost had all he could get out of the combo without going to a bigger motor or nitrous or boost

There was a white RCSB a while back with a 4.8 and a 222/224 cam that made 302 rwhp. I can't remember his name though but it was stout.

making 330/310 with a small cam and exhaust only is very admirable! i would be damn happy to do that in mine.
