Default LS3 Cam recommendations

Hey all, looking for cam recommendations. Aluminum block LS3 with a Scat 4” stroker rotating assembly. AFR mongoose heads. Hedman long tubes. FiTech up to 750 fuel injection. 4l80, the rear end not chosen yet, looking at Currie. In a 62 C-10 with a complete QA1 suspension system. Going to see the drag strip once in a while. More of a burnout and having fun truck.

Your best bet would be to call either Summit, Cam Motion, Comp, or any other competent cam grinder and let them figure it out for you.
For what you want, there will be a shelf grind that will do what you want.

You could also use Patrick G. He has a ton of experience spec’ing cams. But he has a fee. Not sure what he charges nowadays.

Patrick G. Or Cam Motion would be my two top choices. I could see using Darth from LS1-tech. He’s one of the very, very knowledgeable people. There are some others on here too. I just do t remember there names . LOL

238*/248* duration, 112* + 4* LSA......
IVO = 11*
EVC = 8*
IVC = 47*
EVO = 60*

Don't know HP numbers but the engine pulls all kinds of torque below 3500 RPMs.

Best of luck whatever you decide.
