Cam decision?

Cam decision?
I just built a 383 ls1 with around a 10.9:1 to 11:1 compression. it has stage 2 heads with springs up .620 lift. i want to run as much power on 93 octane and could careless about the drivability. Whats the biggest and most agressive cam out there thats good for staying in my compression. Also im looking for power mid to high-end, or just anything that will get me big #s.

I've got a lobe that is 278 @ .050", lobe lift is 372. The biggest in cams is not your best choice, based on your max rpm level, where you want the power, the flow of the induction system, a camshaft can be selected. Please don't get caught up in the "my stick is bigger then yours". Just speaking from experience.

Call Alan at Futral and get the same cam as Vince got, it only puts out 585 rwhp should do the job.Its in a 408 ironblock,240ish duration 114 lda around .650 lift,maybe a little more!!Its NOT that complicated
