why wouldn't you want to swap to a 6.0? It's less half the price of a blower and more reliable. Blower might have a bit more Power, but gains are relatively comprable unless you really started boosting hard. the 6.0 will respond better to supporting mods as well.

not really sure on times. I dont want to tell you a time, and it not reach it.
I am running the 224 cam, most people will tell you it's to big.. but so far it's the only cam that has gotten the 4.8L to dip low into the 13's.
work on your tune, and see how far you can get it down.

The 224 takes alot of TLC in the tune..
you pretty much have to stay on top of the tune..
You need to keep an eye on the IAC, to get it to Idle right..
max timing is about 34*. I think i could go a bit higher, as I dont get any KR at that degree. but more timing doesnt neccesarily bring more HP..
It still pulls pretty strong now..
also watch your fuel curve, and work from there.

cant really tell you how exactly to do it..
diffrent tuners have diffrent ways of tuning..
best thing to do is buy the program yourself and learn how to tune..
it's not hard.
