?'s about what cam to pick with this package

I was looking at the head and can package Texas speed has it the 2.5 ls6 heads and a choice of cam. I'm just not real sure what cam I want.just wanted to know what kinda numbers you guys are making with the various cam choices they have.

Or which one you guys would think would put me close to 450-500 rwhp on a 383 build
Thanks

Contact TSP, a 383 will make that 450 mark easily with a cam in the 220s. Pick your cam based on how you use the car.

Basically what he said ^^^^

Do you daily drive the car? Keep that in mind when deciding a cam. It may sound nasty, but if you're going to hate driving it everyday you'll regret it!

I always encourage people to buy the best cylinder heads they can afford since they're the foundation for making power. But when budget is tight, you have to make choices based on bang for the buck. I think you'd make more power with a budget heads (like the Stage 2.5 LS6 head) and a FAST 90/92/102 intake than you would with a more expensive PRC 215, TFS 215, AFR 215 head and an LS6 intake. A Tsunami cam would be a nice choice for a 383 that was more strip than street.
