Hello,
I am a new member on here. I am trying to help a friend out with his 2004 4.8 Regency.

He is looking for a mild cam with stock motor.

I am a WRX owner and I dont have a clue about truck performance.

What cam would be best on a stock motor.

would he need to get bigger springs or will the stock springs be able to hold up. What about rods, torque converter, oil pump, etc.

it is a 4.8 with 107K miles. Automatic K&N intake with pacesetter headers and magnaflow that are dumped.


Thank you for any help you can provide.

 

he is gona need to change springs and push rods with any cam swap to be safe and theres slot of cams that work good on 4.8s

 

Could you point me in the right direction on springs rods and which cam?

He wants a mild mild lope truck will remain stock other than the cam and supporting mods


He has no futher plans on other performance parts

 

search function...or just check out other member signatures...

 

If he just wants some lope and a little added power, something like a 212/216, or 216/220 cam will do both. Pushods, everyone here just runs 7.4 hardened rods. As far as springs, there are a ton to choose from. I like the PAC 1218s or the 1518's. Texas Speed and Performance and SDPC on the right sidebar will show you some specs and prices>>>>

 

I just talked to him. He would like to know if there is a cam that will work with oem springs/rods


I tried searching 'function' but it will not load on my phone.


Will a cam set up with rods/springs etc be able to be done under 1500.00 for parts.

 

Found this. Looking at the package 1

Would this be an ideal set up?

I am lost as far as the custom options


In the drop down menu, which would be the best parts?


Forgive me in all the questions. I am new to cams and trying to help a friend out.

When you call Texas Speed, ask for Trevor or Matt. Both helped with my build and I've been very happy with their customer support.

 

^^

thank you. I will be sure to do so. When I call. ( I'm doing to the research for my friend.) He wants the cam but doesn't want to do the homework.


Lady3- would you be willing to help install the parts if paid some cash,gas,etc


I have done a cam install about three years ago but I don't remember to process, plus I had the motor pulled out. Is there a good diy guide I can print out and follow?
