What do you think of this Cam w/a Stoker Motor? ok, i'm definintely getting a stoker short block for my car, i'm just not sure from where yet (cracked piston or block - dealer diagnosis) so i started thinking dangerously - "well, as long as i have the block out..." i decided to look into getting a cam put in w/it.
the cam that i like the best so far is a 224 - .581/.581 112 OR 114 (can't decide which yet) - my heads will remain stock for the time being as i CAN'T drop more $$$ to get them done too. What do you guys think about this cam w/ either a 383 or 395?

It would be very streetable with a stroker, but you could go to a 230 if you want more power,get close to .600 lift.If you really want crazy go 236 on 113 or 114 LDAor 112????

i had a 232 236 in my 395, lets just say it lasted as long as a dyno tune.
my 242 242 595 595 112 lunati is perfectly streetable with a 395 stroker

That big stroke is going to want more overlap to be optimum. Also, a bigger cam can help produce more air from stock heads. I'd say something in the .60x lift range on a 246/258 ish size with a 108lsa. You are crutching your self with stock heads but the increased overlap will help produce large flow from them. This cam shouldn't have too bad of an idle either in a 4 inch stroke motor.

It would do alright but you need more cam to make the most power that this combination is capable of. There is a big difference between a 346 and 408, both in bore and stroke.

Ok, i'm leaning towards a aluminum 383 w/eagle internals. the heads will only be stock for a couple months so i can pay off some of the block before i get to the heads. The car is a daily driver, so i am looking for the most streetable power i can get w/o sacrificing too much low end or drivablility. Now that i think about it i heard that cam was good w/ stock motor, but i guess things would be different w/ a stoker. So what do you think would be a good streetable cam for a 383?

I think you should buy my 236/232 .602/.575 112lsa 
great for my 383 for a daily driver/drag car. made damn near 500rwhp with it and is VERY streetable.
