4.8L cam - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bought a cam for my '08 with the 4.8L today. I have gotten really bored with it's performance and find it to be all around slow so it's time to start modding.

Cam specs are 212/218 .522/.529 on 114 LSA I believe. It's Comp Cams XR265, a proven cam great for daily drivers. It's small but I'm not really looking for big numbers, just a little more HP and torque across the curve.

Right now I'm collecting parts for the swap, once it's in I'll get a tune then move on to supporting mods such as a mild converter, long tube headers, intake, gear swap and such.

Anybody have experience with a cammed 4.8L?
