383 build.. Looking for some advise on whats size/spec of a cam to use for my 383 build that will get me into the 11's but have street manners, i'm am using 215cc heads, bbk intake and tb, 3.90 gears and the car is a m6.
Do you want specific spec numbers or general like duration/lift? get rid of that intake system first. And ur current setup should be faster. tune ur car and get good tires.
that should be easy for a 383 ls1 to go 11s and be driveable. my motor is just about to go back in my car and im hoping for low 11s high 10s if i hook. My build is a 383 with ported ls6 heads, ms4 cam, t56, and a 8.8 rearend.

I know the intake sucks, but it'll have to do me for another year or two...I would like to get an idea of some spec's ie; duration, lift and lsa . The set-up in my signature is no more, I split my crank in two pieces.
make sure to let him know what you have and what you want

Whats actually is reverse split?
For along time last year I had a bad vibration in the motor, I checked everything that I could with out pulling the motor...everything seem fine, so thought that the problem was electical or ecm....put the car on dyno, 2nd pull the car just shut off..did make any noise, just as if someone turn the key back to off. We turn the car over manually to be safe and sure enough we new some thing was broke. Turned out I had broke the crank in two, and twisted 1 connecting rod(8)...that was it for the damage....
I'm pretty sure the problem came form powershifting the car and a F_body/mustang shootout....I had a weak clutch and didn't want to lose as I had posted the quickest times for my class.
If you're just trying to go 11s on motor you're going waaay to big of a build. A stock bottom end with a mild camshaft and stock heads will get you there especially with a nice gear in that 8.8.
For a 383 build i would go with a bigger cam. It should still be a great dd, and you will have plenty of power. Something like a ms3, ms4, raptor, t-rex, or polluter would be ideal.
just my 2 cents

So you're telling someone with a 383 that's an all stroke motor to go with a reverse split camshaft? I don't think I saw him mention he was trying to pull a boat with his camaro.

Refers to the duration specs of the camshaft.. traditional split would be having more exhaust duration than intake (ie. 228/232). The reverse split refers to an intake duration higher than the exhaust (ie. 230/224).
They can work very well on stock size engines, however, I highly doubt anyone would spec you a reverse split camshaft for a 383 unless like I said, you intend on pulling a boat or have special interest of needing an insane amount of torque in areas where most of us wouldn't need it.

why exactly wouldn't a reverse split cam work with a 383?

but i see what your saying of course if it's the BBK intake i'm thinking of it's a restrictive intake set-up so a reverse split sound pretty good from what i've been reading i have alot more reading to do about this stuff

It will work, it will work with any cam. Putting a camshaft that was designed around a stock bottom end engine to make great midrange torque into a stroker that is going to make crazy torque to begin with just doesn't seem wise. It will make a shitload of torque where you would never need it (ie. 3k and under) and die out when it starts getting up above 5k.
The 6.0 is just a larger bore, a whole lot different than stroking.
