383 cam its not my main car but choosing between it and my stock formula i would drive it in town every day 15 miles at most but occasionally i would put about 130-150 miles a day when i head up to the nearest city for their car cruise and a little racing maybe once a month

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

i run the SS3 cam from speed inc in my 383 all bore. its 242/250 .611/.619 on a 114lsa. i drive my car all the time. well most of the time. and it doesnt bother me at all, idles perfect drives great even in traffic
Off subject I know, but I just had to ask. Your 383 is all bore,what block are you running?
yeah those ms4's are fun to drive around on the street. someone trips at how big it is on a stock cube motor. I had a blast with mine its going back in the new motor. I would say run that in your 383
what cc heads? your dcr is gonna be pretty low with that cam.
I use a 246 248 114 in mine and my dcr is only 7.6 with -7diamonds. I would go with low 240's with like a 112+2.
I am lowering my intake duration and gonna run a 111+2

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.
