On that calculator site, its says to use advertised duration. Looks like you used .050. Which one are you supposed to use???

my cam at advertised duration and 50 degs overlap and at .050 had -3 degs
HMM not for sure but I believe the .50 duration still have us valuable info?

T/A kid,
I just relized you have a 383. I think those cams your looking at are way too small for a 383. I would go in the 240s and go up one size in pulleys. That way you could pull into the higher rpms with out spinning the blower too hard. 6200rpms is not very high, I have a feeling it's going to want to pull way past that. A larger cam will have more power up top also. 383+big cam+maxed out D1+7000rpms=big power
IMO If I speed up the blower 7.65 crank pulley and 3.2 BP I can almost achieve max impellar speed, no need to kill it with RPM in my opinion as long as you speed up the blower.
You LS1 guys have a 55mm cam so High RPM with AGGRESIVE cam profiles is not a problem, I am running the XE 3100 lobes which is intened moslty for Low Rpm usage. Boost should come in sooner and I should have a lot of power between 3000-6200, area under the curve baby, plus my Rear gear ratio will play with the Rpm better and still pull decent Rpms going to the highway at 70
