    If you do in fact run that cam, you'll need to upgrade your valve springs and pushrods. Stock rocker arms will work fine but whatever you do, don't neglect your valve train when you're making power.

    i say go for it!!! throw it in there, rev the motor to 7k+ and see how she runs!!

    you dont got the cubes in a 4.8 to make big torque, so rev the piss out of it to make up for it...
