Been looking into swapping in a 206/212 .515/.522 112lsa in my 05' 4.8 rcsb for some time now. I want to stay w/ the stock stall and exhaust manifolds and am really just trying to gain midrange to low end power. I have talked to a few people lately who said the benefits wouldn't be worth the cost and effort w/ such a small cam in the 4.8. Would I better off w/ the Comp 212/218 .522/529 114 lsa? Really only wanting a slight lope, nothing crazy.

I realize cam threads have been beat to death here lately but this one is a bit different. A Search doesn't help much either as there isn't much info out there in regards to 4.8 camswaps or info on the comp 206/212. Any help is appreciated...

 

That is the cam I am looking at installing..... Or I have been thinking about something inbetween the 2 you listed like a 208/214 @112...

 

Was considering the same thing, 208/214 with a litle more lift than the 212/218 possibly??? Hopefully some more info can be shed on this...

 

Comp makes a 208/212 .551/.558 @ 115, I think if you dropped that to a 114 or 112 it would be a nice little stock converter cam. I think that is the one I want to go with... Like you I am not looking at putting in anything radical...

check out the Comp Cams catalog XFI Extreme Truck section..

they also list a 212/216.....

 

Thanks for the link. I had a tough time navigating there site a couple weeks back, but those pages have some good info. The 208/212 cam sounds interesting, I wonder how it would act behind the 4.8 w/ a stock stall?

I talked to comp last week and they didn't even mention the 208/212, they were pushing me towards the 206/212 on a 112 since I wanted to stay w/ the stock stall.

 

The 5.3's have been doing fine with the high lift 212/218, but they have 30 more cubic inches than us 4.8L guys. I think something in the middle of the stock 191/190 camshaft would get that low end you are looking for. The 206/212 certainly fits that bill. Although with the extremely talented tuners that we have these days, something a little bigger probably wouldn't be too bad.

 

see I was gonna do a 212/218 but the 'deal' kinda fell thru.. was more of a rough idea.. but anyway.. I came across a good deal and thought more and more about it and came to my own kinda personal conclusion that I want a bad *** idle and a little more foreplay before I blow the doors off any little rice fire I come across.. hah, not that the ricers have a chance now.. but thats just me. And its gonna be an easy 3 1/2 days work so I might as well cam some **** outta it and get a tune and hope the bitch makes some power that I can sleep at night over

 

that would be one very nice cam for a 4.8,

208/212 .551/.558 112lsa, custom grind it!!! plus you can use LS6 springs that can be bought for $60 brand new!!

 

x2 sound like a great cam with stock stall.

 

I think that is what I will go with!!!

What sponsers sell Custom Grind Comp Cams? Or where is a good place to get one ground?
