Bullet does some nice small block and big block chevy stuff! I just built an 18* 434 and used one of their nitrous grinds and ended up making 775 on an engine dyno. There is a lot of hp in a camshaft, and I was very well pleased with it to be a nitrous camshaft.

Thunder Racing will have Comp Cams grind the camshaft. The good thing about getting one from TR is that they will give you a cam doctor print out on the cam after they get it back from Comp Cams free of charge. At least the last cam I had them do for me it was free. Patrick G or Geoff at TR can help you spec out the cam for you application.

Another good point I forgot to mention, TR gives you an exact cam doctor print out

Try Futral he uses the dart heads on a lot of combos and probably has a grind that will work great for your setup. I personally got my cam from him for my 383, which had dart 205s.

242/248 .624/.590 113+4 is a good place to start.

Thanks guys, I have ordered the cam from TR, and Patrick G specced the cam for me. I have gone from 222/224 to 232/236 .625/.629 113lsa +2, i also ported my LS2 inlet today, i'll report back when its been on the rollers, any guesses as to what i should pick up on my stroker 383 power wise?
