Hey Everyone,
I have a 383 that my flat tappet cam is trashed. Going to go to a roller rocker retrofit. I have a friend that set me up with a great set of lifters and now i need to choose a cam. I have been running a comp 23-223-4 and liked the sound and the performance was alright. Obviously I am hoping for a little more. The car is 99.9% street driven. If you could let me know what you have run before, or make a recommendation based on the following specs that would be great. The more low end torque I can make, the better. Typical rpm i cant imagine would go past 5500 outside of maybe 1-2 track nights a year.
383 bored 30 over
E-street aluminum heads (78.8cc)
9.9:1 compression
Edelbrock performer intake (plus a 1" open carb spacer)
TTI long tube headers
stock crank and rods
KB162 pistons
727 trans (current torque converter will be changed appropriately to match the cam)
3.23 gears
Street avenger 670 carb (have a 770 sitting there if i need it)
the car weights about 4000 lbs
Thanks for your help!
Gary
