because that cam isnt going to have alot down low, and with 3.42s means slower outta the hole.. So stock stall with those gears=slow. Of course faster than you are now, But there is better cams for your application especially since its going to be a street truck..

If you want a good size cam for the 4.8 without losin to much bottom, then the highest i would go is 220/220 IMO..


Edit: since you say you arent worried about speed, then get a 228R 112 or something if you just wanna sound good..

Springs and pushrods, you'll also need a tune. I dont believe you 'have" to change the pushrods but I would go with hardened ones.

hell, if you just want the sound, save some money run LTs and pull a plug wire.

As far as I know, its the amount of overlap that gives the good lumpy sound. Have one specd for you, it costs about the same.
