Default 383 LT4 New Cam Suggestions

I have an all forged 383 LT4, AFR heads, 1.6 rockers, GM carbed intake, and all the other goodies. Right now it has a LT4 Hot Cam in it because originally we were only going to run it on the street. Now its in a race only car and want a little more out of the motor.

Question is what new cam should we go with to get more out of it? Was thinking a Comp Cam 306 but do not know if it will clear since running the 1.6 rockers. Block and heads have NOT been deck so are all stock far as that, I just don’t know a lot about LT1/LT4 engines far as clearance issues (my brother built the motor and I ended up with it now).

Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

The CC306 will clear fine, you only have to change to the proper valve springs. If it'll be only a race car why not go with a solid roller cam?

Or you can look at the GM847. Slightly bigger than the CC306. Specs are 234/242 .575/.595 lift with 1.6rr's on a 112 lsa. I'm going with this cam in my forged 355, also upgrading from my hotcam. But thats if you wanna go with an off the shelf cam. If I wasn't planning on changing my setup in the future I would go with a custom grind like they said.

Thanks for all the help. May look into a custom grid, was looking for something off the shelf quick & easy at first.

Didnt want to go soild roller, engine will be going back into a weekend cruiser '67 Camaro when I get my race 406 SBC built. Less things I swap out now less have to change all back later.
