Re: What is a good cam for a 383 stroker? 383 stroker eh =) Depends what you want to do with it? daily driver or drag racer?
Lets say youre a drag racer, try this:
do a 300 ADV in/eh
242/238 @ 0.050
In Valve @ 595
Ex valve @ 588
In/Ex lobe at 350
111 LSA
108 Int C/L
13°BTC 49°ABC /
57°BBC 05°ATC
This should be "roughly" a 3200 to 6600 RPM cam
Happy grinding =)

Re: What is a good cam for a 383 stroker? Thanks!
I do have a 226.5 cam as the cam doc indicated! I was thinking to change it because I thought this is a small cam for the car! It idles like stock and the power is ok. but I do need tuning and minor things to be done.
I was not very happy with the Dyno run that I made. Did 400 rwhp and 400 rwtq with no tuning, with cats, no cutout. I am hoping to see a 40 rwhp increase. After the tuning and the removal of the cats and installation of a cut out!

Re: What is a good cam for a 383 stroker? Since the stroker has more cubes to tame the larger cam I've wondered how a reverse split's on a tighter center line would do.
How about something like:
236/230 .580 .580 110
or
234/228 .580 .580 111

Re: What is a good cam for a 383 stroker? They did not say anything!
I do not know?!? Therefore, I went with a 226.5 on a 114. It should have been 228 on a 114, but it came out like that (as tested on cam DR.).
Have any suggestions

Re: What is a good cam for a 383 stroker? You can always call up some of the sponsors and see what they recommend.I wouldnt bother ARE anymore as they have a hard time getting back to paying customers.
Re: What is a good cam for a 383 stroker? My thought is that you want to go for torque and not rev real high with a stroker. With ARE heads on a stock bore size and assuming notched pistons, I'd consider 230/236 112 with 2 or 4 degrees of advance.

Re: What is a good cam for a 383 stroker? I would consider a 234/234 112LSA .6xx lift cam.
The extra cubes will swallow it up quite well and you will make lots of torque. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> The extra intake duration will help cylinder filling as well. Be sure to check PtoV clearance too.
Are you running double springs?

Re: What is a good cam for a 383 stroker? I'm currently running a 224/224 114 lsa with .539 lift and making 448 rwhp and 439 rwtq with my 382 stroker.
I am also going to change my cam soon and am thinking reverse split since the LS6 intake is the biggest restriction.
