383 cam
Blew my motor so now im in the process of building a 383 new to this so i was looking for opinions on a cam im building it for a 200 shot of nitrous but from what ive read i dont have to run a nitrous cam to spray that much so need help for best motor cam to work with TSP PRC 2.5 ls6 heads most have told me about a 248/254 .611 .613 on a 114 ar should i run something on a tighter lsa or stick with it wanting as close to 500 to the rears as possible i already have
eagle crank, scat rods, diamond -7cc pistons
3.73 gears and a 3800 stall

I'm running a 239/248 110+2 and I'm putting down some great power with my budget build. It's a good sized cam but its on the edge in my opinion (24 degree's of overlap). I'd look into something else as that cam is a little large. Looks like the TSP Giant cam? Not a bad cam but a little large for what you're trying to achieve/cubes. Why not check out some of our sponsers ---> and see what they can offer you?
I myself am contemplating retarding my cam and running it straight up to get a little more mid-range/top end charge.

my last set up was ms4 with stock heads and i didnt feel the cam was worth it to put in the new motor

Just to give you and idea I am running a 239/243 Futral cam on a 112 lsa. It made decent power at 487/473. I am currently planning a new cam as it appears the heads I have require a little more split and duration.
