Re: The best cam for 382ci ALL-BORE The best cam would be the one in my ARE big-bore motor, but unfortunately it's not for sale, and I won't disclose the specs unless you have ultra-super-duper-top-secret clearance!

I lost traction from a roll in second with 315 road race tires in the rear (stickier than BFG's), RT torque arm at a -2 pinion agnel, and boxed LCA's. I steet raced a lot with my heads/cam and I would only lose traction in first if I mashed from 5mph. FWIW my cam isn't top secret 
I made 487 rwhp on stock injectors with no tuning with my 243/250 .610/612 114 lsa cam. A smaller cam will give you more low end torque(but you will already have way to much of that for the steet anyway) so I suggest going big.

Re: The best cam for 382ci ALL-BORE Im just going for the smooth sounds of the MTI X1 (230/227 on a 112) but on a 114 LS. Im all about driving on the street with some time at the road track. Did you have a H/C/headers setup before? What did you like about previous cams in stock ci? You cant tell someone what cam they want until they know what you are looking for. Linear Velocity and I both are gettign essentially the same motor, but we are going to be happy with far different cams.
Good thing is that for most of us, a new cam is 400$ plus about a 3 hour relaxing time in the garage one night. So Im not worried about being off a little.

Re: The best cam for 382ci ALL-BORE In all honesty, it's impossible to just pick a "best cam."
You have ARE heads, right? Personally, I'd call Wade and left him make a recommendation. They came up with the specs for my cam, and I'd have to say they did a fine job in doing so.
