What is a good cam for a 383 stroker?

I am planning to change my cam, what is the way to go?

Any suggestion is greatly welcome!!

383 stroker eh =) Depends what you want to do with it? daily driver or drag racer?

Lets say youre a drag racer, try this:

do a 300 ADV in/eh

242/238 @ 0.050
In Valve @ 595
Ex valve @ 588
In/Ex lobe at 350
111 LSA
108 Int C/L
13°BTC 49°ABC /
57°BBC 05°ATC

This should be "roughly" a 3200 to 6600 RPM cam

Happy grinding =)

What about a daily driver?

Alonzo,, tell me is that a 112 or 114?

I am working on a buddy of mine with his cam buildup, and he has a 382, so thinking about yours sounds good.

Thanks!

I do have a 226.5 cam as the cam doc indicated! I was thinking to change it because I thought this is a small cam for the car! It idles like stock and the power is ok. but I do need tuning and minor things to be done.

I was not very happy with the Dyno run that I made. Did 400 rwhp and 400 rwtq with no tuning, with cats, no cutout. I am hoping to see a 40 rwhp increase. After the tuning and the removal of the cats and installation of a cut out!

Since the stroker has more cubes to tame the larger cam I've wondered how a reverse split's on a tighter center line would do.


How about something like:
236/230 .580 .580 110

or

234/228 .580 .580 111

I will look in to the reverse split. My gole is 440 rwhp right now! And maybe I will spry it!!!

What cam did ARE say to go with?

RUF SS

They did not say anything!

I do not know?!? Therefore, I went with a 226.5 on a 114. It should have been 228 on a 114, but it came out like that (as tested on cam DR.).

Have any suggestions

You can always call up some of the sponsors and see what they recommend.I wouldnt bother ARE anymore as they have a hard time getting back to paying customers.

My thought is that you want to go for torque and not rev real high with a stroker. With ARE heads on a stock bore size and assuming notched pistons, I'd consider 230/236 112 with 2 or 4 degrees of advance.

I would consider a 234/234 112LSA .6xx lift cam.
The extra cubes will swallow it up quite well and you will make lots of torque. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> The extra intake duration will help cylinder filling as well. Be sure to check PtoV clearance too.
Are you running double springs?

I'm currently running a 224/224 114 lsa with .539 lift and making 448 rwhp and 439 rwtq with my 382 stroker.

I am also going to change my cam soon and am thinking reverse split since the LS6 intake is the biggest restriction.

RUF SS

Thanks!

I am talking the car to MTI soon for tuning and dropping the cats! After that, I well see what it RWHP it has!

would the new "f1" (fast tech/speedtek) cam be any good with the 383? or even the G5 or G6??
just a question.
