Which cam for a 383 All Stroke motor? There have been so many improvements in cams over the years, I wanted to see what you guys recommend for a 383 all stroke, Cartek Stage II X heads, ported LS6 intake, FLP long tube headers, m6 w/4.10 gears.....along with all the major bolt ons. I currently have these heads on a stock bottom end and will be yanking the motor this fall.
Thanks

Are you going to send the heads to cartek to touch up the port volumes etc?
I am running a 236/240 110LSA cam and it works well. Peaks pretty low (~466RWHP at 6000rpm and 437RWTQ) There is 400RWTQ from 3000rpm and up. I might go a little bigger after I get the 4.11 gears in.
Something in the 242/250 108 LSA range
Should peak about 300-400rpm higher and boost RWHP a good bit. (Probably 10-15)

They recommend that I do send them back the heads. I want to learn some more about what kind of changes they will do to them since my motor is an all stroke and not an all bore. The valves can't get any bigger.
Dammmmm, you have a torque monster with 400+ from 3000 up. I think I would definitely feel that driving around or coming out of a corner on the road coarse. What kind of lift you running?
