Heads/Cam for 383
Heads/Cam for 383 Hey guys, I'm gathering parts to stroke my car to a 383 and I'm trying to decide on the heads and cam I want. I want to be able to drive the car in traffic if I hit some, but it is not a daily driver....here are the car specs
* means I have it but it's not going on until the stroker kit does
99 formula M6 (short throw of course)
PPE Typhoon Intake 92mm/matching TB
Whisper lid
*Moser 9' w/4.11 gears
*looking for a ws6 lower airbox* Mecham ram air hood
*Eagle 383 stroker kit
*MT street radials 17' (rear only)
PPE Typhoon Intake 92mm/matching TB
Whisper lid
Pacesetter LT, True duals, H-pipe, SLP LM resonators dumped before rear axle
Spec stage 2 clutch (getting a Textralia oz700)
That should be all the stuff pertinent to my question (yes, I do have everything else I need to support a stroker, but it would take far too long to list it all). I am honestly shooting for 550 to the wheels NA...I'm not going to use anything else...all motor baby!
Anyway, any opinions/ideas would be much appreciated....The TSP Giant cam looks mighty good but I think it may be a *touch* too big to be streetable, even in a 383...

550 at the wheels may be a stretch but 500 should be doable. something like the tfs 225 or afr 225 with something like a 23x/24x on xer lobes with mid 11:xx scr/8.5-8.8 dcr should give you some decent numbers.
Hmm, well the guys at TSP said the MS4 would almost be a mild cam in a 383 because of the extra cubes...They *suggested* a custom grind, something around a 244/250 but I didn't ask what lobes they use....how do you think something in that range (with the xer)would pair with some AFR 225 heads...oh yeah, should I go with AFR or Dart or is it basically preference since they're both amazing heads?
yes and they put up great numbers.i think something like a 238/242 would be a great all around performer but if top end power is what you are mainly after that 244/250 sounds like a decent choice but be prepared to spin it pretty high.

Ok sweet, thanks for the input! I think your last recommendation there is a sure bet so I think it'll be something along those lines...I'll be sure to throw out some dyno sheets before/after everything!
