Re: what cam

that's a tiny cam for a 383, it'll fry the tires off anything, but that's not really that fun. With good driving, good traction you'll hit a 12.5, but that'll be on a flyin short time.

Re: what cam

Wow, I think you should go to a WAY larger cam. Probably in the GM 847 range, cams get "milder" when you step up the cubes.

Also (someone correct me if i am wrong) would he want to go with a cam with a pretty long duration to compensate for the fact that he is using stock castings (unported possibly) with a 383?
