We can help you spec a camshaft based off your mods & goals. Shoot me a pm with your head specs, & possibly a piston brand & part #. I bet we can help you get something to meet your goals & fit no problem!

The heads right now are just stock ls6. the block i had bored and is 383 stroker with a 10.4:1 compression ratio and I would like to get the most out of what I have. What would be my best route for a high power, high torque naturally aspirated motor. I will do whatever work neccessary to the heads for an extreme cam such as the ms4 or something similiar. still need to keep it street legal though.

Street legal? Are you talking about emissions?
