I would go with the AFR 225's. On paper that cam looks like a good turbo cam to me. You might want to go up in duration since its a 383.

i coud not make more than 523rwhp on a built 346 with that turbo and set up. you are better off getting another turbo set up if you want any results to be happy about.
