I have a 07 nbs with the 4.8 with 60k miles. I got a good deal on a Torquer V3 Cam from a buddy. The cam specs are 231/234 643/598 111 lsa. I'm going to port and polish the heads, have 675 springs, rebuild rockers to handle the lift of the cam, shorter push rods, ls7 lifters, arp connecting rod/ head bolts, ls6 oil pump, lt headers with full exhaust, circle d 4k stall, and a built tranny. What are y'alls opinions. Will it work and run good (after tune) or will it be a waste of time? Also, what gears should I run? Tire is a 285/45-22 (may sell them and lower it more and put some 18's or 20's under it with a meaty tire) And any other ideas on other motor work that needs/wouldn't hurt to have done?

Thanks, Trevor

 

STUPID BIG for a lil 4.8

 

sell it and buy something WAY smaller .............like said b4 stupid big for a 4.8 ......

 

If you had said 408 and not 4.8 you could have used that cam.

 

Lol. Thats what I was figuring but it was too good of a deal to pass up. What would you sell it for? Cam and springs are both brand new. Also, What would be a good cam choice? Was looking at the ls1 thumper cam or the tsp 220 on a tight lsa.

 

Slowec on here has a 222/226/109lsa for sale.

 

I wouldn't go bigger than about a 210/218 on a 4.8, if that big.

 

You might get into the powerband somewhere around 7500 RPM......

 

Have a buddy with a 226/229 575/578 114lsa willing to trade me. Would that be a decent cam? And its also for a c5 vette, so would it even be the same cam?

 

The search button is very helpful!

there are plenty cammed 4.8s to get an idea on cam sizes
