This lowers piston speed, which decreases wear on the cylinder walls. Check out 1200hp 4.8 ls on google. Interesting read. I am shooting for 300 to the tire with the current setup and have 2 6765 billet precision turbos for later. I want to make 1000/1000 and it is entirely possible. Should come at 18-22 psi. Denmah on ls tech made 1078 on a stock 6.0 in a colorado. Bottom line, people throw away 4.8's and go for 6.0's, ls7's, etc. I got my engine for 500 bucks. Im in for a penny a pound to prove that 4.8's more than have what it takes!
