Like I said before, it'll be rough, expect some surging and a hard brake pedal. I'd say that cam was designed for a turbo ls1, but the LSA is too close together, but you would need to have an awesome exhaust to take full advantage of it.

You need to ask 01Thunder about cams for the 4.8 liter. He's got a heavily modded 4.8, and running a TR224 cam. He's having to run a huge torque converter, gone thru 9 or so trannys, it idles at like 950-1000 rpms, tuning was a bitch and a half and still has issues with it occassionally. I think the 224 would be the very most cam I would go in a 4.8L, tops.
