If you "hear" too many things, you should seek professional help. What is lacking in your system is gears in the differential. Stock is way too high for the cam's operating range.

Exactly.

There are some great sponsors out there and gurus that can get you where you need to be. Next cam I spec, I def will be consulting a few different people.

Technology is always changing.

You definitely need some some gears, at least 4.11's!

How about an G5x3 (114 lsa) camshaft from LG and a set of Stg II or Stg III LS6 heads for a 383 from Livernois,TSP or any other vendor on here ? I'm sure with those mods and of course good tune , you can have pretty good street manners and alot of kick-*** power when you need it. Just a thought.
