I would ask Lloyd to spec you a cam that drove like a mid 220's intake duration would in a 350. That way you have something that drives very reasonable which is what you want but you have something that will compliment the 383 pretty well and move out good. Make sure to tell him your going to run an SS3600 and that way he will hook you up with something perfect for the new setup.

Hey man, with a 383 I'd definitely go with a healthy sized cam. You don't want to build it and then be pissed you didn't go bigger. I'll pm you the specs of mine and see what you think. Lloyd suggested it and I got it with my LE2 heads from him. It's going in my 355 but I plan on shifting at around 6800-7000. He may want to do something different with you though. Good luck man.

Well you know how I feel about huge cams...I run a 226/234 .568" on a 111 in my 383 and I've yet to see anyone with a HR cammed street car of any other duration out mph me...The cam makes nice power and torque at somewhat lower rpms....I'm all done by 63-6500 rpms and I think thats one reason why my motor has 14 years and over 52,000 flawless miles on it...I have no secrets and am no lightweight at over 3600 lbs...Its all in matching the combo of heads, cam, rear gear and converter...

To flip what you just said...don't you think that , with your set up, that if you went with more duration and higher lift AND matched your gear, tire(, and stall if A4) that you could ET better?
