    heads!

    your gonna need some good flowing heads and longtubes for a cam like that, plus a fuel system upgrade.

    in other words, chop that ''.'' out of there and weld in a ''0'' add forged in front of that, and you'll have no problems out of that camshaft, i.e. ''forged 408ci''

    WAY too big for a 4.8...that's WAY too big for a 6.0 unless I had great heads and it would still be on the edge of what I would use then.

    Yes, its big...but Jeff ran an ASA Hot Cam in his 4.8L ECSB. The ASA Hot Cam is 226/236 .525/.525 110LSA. It ran well. It needs at least a 3400 stall though.

    it'll take a 4k + stall to be affective, plus some huge flowing heads, it will work fine in a 6.0 with supporting mods.if not mistaken he may run into some PTV clearances, what kind of lift does it have?
    Simple: 408 on steroids!
