I would tell WADE at ARE exactly what your goals are for your car and what exactly you will use it for (strictly race car, weekend warrior with ocassional racing, etc) and look to him for his expert advice and suggestion for a perfectly matched bad *** cam matched with ARE heads you have.

Best of luck,

Sure there are some cams that work better than others for a specific application, but it's almost ridiculous how well these motors respond to any mods. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'd go with a 232/237 duration cam, with an aggressive lift/ramp and 112 LSA.

Just from my own personal experiences and observations of all-bore 382ci setups <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

How does a solid roller bad boy cam and 10.0 flat e/ts sound to you? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Sounds pretty darn good to me! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
