Default 383 stroker cam choice

i currently have a TSP custom grind cam specs 240/244 612/615 113. Im thinking of swapping a Thunder racing cam specs 244/248 612/615 112. I don't know if there will be alot of difference or worth the money. Any suggestions

need more specs...

what heads & other add on's???

personally i have seen better flowing heads make the biggest difference than a cam swap.

Sure they cost more but it may work out better in the long run. The more effiecent the motor flows the more power it will make. You can only push som much air through a head, even if you get the biggest cam in the world.

You could go with a set of 225CCTFs and that right there would make a hell of a difference.

Like stated before better heads, with complimenting parts will make a hell of a difference.
