Well, that was interesting.

But seriously, I'd do the 228r. Some of the smaller cams WILL surprise people.

If you have a cam why are you still polling people, perhaps he has an older brother with a hawk that he "forgot" to mention

Wow... this thread is full of fail. To the kid who started this thread, like others have said, write your screen name on a piece of paper, put it on your dash, and take a pic of it.

If you're for real, then try to get something in between those two cams, like a 23x/23x .60x .60x cam. If you decide on an MS4, definitely get a good tuner who knows what they are doing, an MS4 can be daily drivable... with the right tune and supporting mods.

you dont have loose of power in low rpm because you have a 383 man.

I would go with alittle bigger of a cam then 228 but smaller then a ms4. Check out the 232 cams. They are great cams too

I agree a 23* cam will be a good choice!! on the aggressive side but yet very drivable!! vetteboy99 I hope you are not wasting everyone's time!!

Because our dealership is in arkansas and in memphis. In memphis, we just have a small car lot where we sell and buy cars. In arkansas, It's the whole thing. Search it if you want. United traders inc. The managers name is Abdull. The vette has a dealers tag. The hawk has a paper tag because we didn't get the title to get a official tag for it. Just let it go man.

I voted 228R. The MS4 is an off the shelf max effort cam. Max effort = race
I have a tsp 231/237 on a 112 lsa. It's not radical, but still not a great street cam imo. N/A my power curve peaks at 6400. LS6 intake and 853 stock heads.
