Read my thread. I'm starting a 383 build. I don't know the specs on the MS cams but something like high 240's for my build.

What do you want it to drive like? Want the same type powerband as the old setup with just more power everywhere? If so just go 6-8 deg more on the intake and exhaust with the new cam for the 383. It should drive like the old setup or close.

are you planning on upgrading heads later on?? i have a 383 auto ms4 90/90 799 heads that i ported and don't flow more then 270 it dyno 442/430 im saving for prc227 going for 485+rwhp

Thanx Guys.. Am gonna find out What is the flow on the heads Cause at this point it does matter on the New Cam Specs.. right..? Like i said they have a Mild port.. I think is a Stage 2.. But really dont know the flow.. or cc's. What would be a good size head to run on a 383..? Am sure my 853's are pretty old for the 383.. Even if their ported..?? Can i make this flow More (better) with more work on them..? Sorry Guys Am not to familiar with Thiss.. I will appreciate any kind of advice.. Thanx!!

The MS3 will work fine with you.... Just make sure to get double springs.....

garygnu

you in Cali?what about emissions?get a custom EPS cam to work with your heads.if you want to step up to better flowing heads look at some trick flow 220 ,or some TSP prc 215/227 heads if its in your budget.

Yea Am thinking going with Ms3 Or Ms4 Kit from TexasSpeed.. Great kit comes with Harden Pushrods, Dbl.Springs Matching The specs of the cam.. Ect.

Yes.. Am in L.A. But Really Could get away with that whole emissions FOR NOW.. LOL.. I Will Look Into TryN To Get Some Better flowing Heads.. Definitely Not in my budget since i didnt think i would be needing them.. Maybe if i can get a set of them used or really cheap.. i was thinking my ported 853s would be good for now.. I mean if the h.p. difference is not by a whole lot.. But Then again i wouldnt know.. They say 383ci wont give you a whole lot h.p. maybe 10-15 h.p. gain.. That is all in ure Heads & Cam..?

09camarossls2

Came across These.. idk.. if they are any good.. Maybe the brand..? Never heard of it.. Can anybody know by the specs listed if the cc's or flow are any good..? What do you guys think..??

Something in the 240's makes sense and preferably a custom one suited to you setup. Contact Futral Motorsports to get setup.

if your shortblock is still good you would be better off spending the money on a set of good heads and intake then the 383 stroker kit imo.

are you planning on upgrading the heads? are you planning on throwing a fast manifold on it? what kind of power band are you looking for?, answer all these questions and i can help you out with a cam... shoot me a pm, or talk to me at LA invasion on sunday at the track

thats because you dont do this for a living, so your opinion is just that and uneducated opinion... even if peak HP numbers are the same between a 346 and 383, the 383 with walk all over the 346 just because of the under the curve power, and torque... now this is my opinion...

someone is cranky

no **** the 383 will make better power if the setup is optimized. Im just stating assuming if he had a few thousand to spend that he would be better off spending it on good heads and intake to match to a new cam instead of having a 383 with an ls6 intake and 853 heads with an unknown port with the new cam if the shortblock is still good.

the ls6 intake and his heads will probably be the bigger restriction here not the cubic inches of his engine. Is that so hard to understand or do you just like to call me out and make yourself look like a *****?

Even if he doesn't have the money up front for a better set of heads and a fast intake so what. The extra cubes and low end torque it provides will hold him over until he can upgrade more. 383 over 346 anyway even if it isn't fully optimized right off the bat

I agree but if the shortblock is still good i think investing in a good set of heads and intake along with the new cam probably a better way to go instead of just adding cubes and a new cam.

Personally i would probably go with a iron 370 if i was on a budget anyways over the 383 ls1.

the extra stroke from the 383 will make more tq than adding a set of heads on will most likely
