What are you going to be doing with the car? Will it see nitrous? Boost? What kind of transmission? What kind of vehicle? This kind of information is needed to properly spec a cam. Let us know that and we can definately help you out!

the car is a 98 z28 camaro a4 transmission wont see nitrous anytime soon. keeping it naturally aspirated so no boost. going to be driven occasionaly not daily but would like to see it as a street/strip car.

A T-rex size cam works well on a 383. It's around 242/248 600ish lift on a 110lsa. It is pretty radical but can be street driven easily with propper tuning and coverter and gear.
