Default ms4 cam for my 383?
i just bought a ms4 cam for my 383 ls1 with 12.8 compression cnc ported 806 heads victor jr intake 90mm tb. and i plan to put this in my 63 nova. behind a powergilde.
so my question is will this cam work for my application or am i leaving alot of power out of it?

lmk if more info is needed. also if i do go with a differant cam how long does a custom cam take to be made?

I think it will be a good match. You'd be best off getting a custom grind, but I think that those 383 cubes will take that huge cam nicely.

Hey what happend to the turbo cam you had in the 383? I will give you $100 but i will pick it up since you might take 4 weeks to ship and not return my email or pm's, And i will have to create a myspace account to post a comment asking where my cam is lol.

Most people on here running glides are making big power 900+ and a good size stall. I would just do a th350 at that power level.
