Default GM hot cam

Yes another stupid cam thread, and yes i have looked for threads about it and all i have seen is a bunch of opinions! I dont want opinions, i want to know if anyone has it in their 4.8 or even 5.3 and what they have seen for a power gain, and how they like it.

Get a hold of vanillagorilla, he had one in his 4.8 i think, then he put the turbo on it and it sucked. Swapped it out for a LS6 cam and was much happier, but you can't make up your mind on what your gona do anyway

Thanks Kyle, and i have actually made my decision. N/A "full" bolt on and cam, and by cam i mean mild cam, and if all else fail, i can just change a few things and go a different direction.

Hey Dustin why don't you go with the cam I Got. You seen in action and it's an all around cam. I have 216/218 .561/.562 lsa 114. I'll let you know how it does after I add my turbo. I would say it's in the 300hp and tq.
