NA or NOS? Could use a tighter LSA imo -- maybe a 112, imo.

That's a pretty aggressive came for a 4.8 as well. Maybe a 9 on a scale of 1-10 (10 being berserk).

I think that cam will take major tuning and is probably a lot bigger than you really want. Hard to tell over the internet, but let me put it this way: Look at my cam and look at the cam you are talking about -- then look at my cubes and yours Granted I'm running a turbo so am probably at the smallest end of the performance cam range for a 408, but even so, the cam you're looking at is almost the same size.

If it were me, I'd look at something in the 210/218 range on a 110-112 lsa. Something like Vinci's ASP-Kicker

You want a little more overlap in an NA motor for best performance (which is why I suggested the 112lsa). I messed up the durations on that Vinci cam above (corrected now) -- I still like it better than either cam above, but they are pretty close except the LSA.
