I have two questions about the cc306. I have a 383 with a baby cam from nu-tek. I wanted to go a little bigger and found a deal on a cc306 out of a 94 camaro. When I got the baby cam, I remember them talking about it having to be a small base circle cam. My first question is would this cc306 cam out of a 94 fit in a 97 and my second are all the cc306 cams small base or is that something you would have to special order?

 

Not sure about the small base, but I do know that the 95+ LT1's have a longer dowl pin in the cam for the Vented opti that the 94 doesn't have.

 

the dowel can be changed on any cam

 

I'd think that it won't work. You can give Comp Cams a call and have them look up your grind number and see if it will have any clearance issues in a 383. Even if you got an all clear, you would still have to install it and see if there are any clearance issues with the rods or crank. I would order a special small base circle grind. Better peace of mind.

 

cc306 is not small base circle unless you custom order it that way

just get a custom cam

 

Has anyone put an off the shelf cc306 into a 383? If so how was the fit?

 

idk but i have a brand new one for sale $180 shipped

 

I am pretty sure this guy I know has a CC306 (off the shelf) cam in his 383. Not positive though, definately worth looking into.

I ran the cc306 in my 383. Trapped 115 on stock tune, stock heads and stock throttle body with 3.23 gears in a 6 speed. This was an Eagle bottom end with 5.7 I beam rods and ARP bolts. The assembly was good for up to .600 lift according to the manufacturer.

 

was it straight off the shelf or did you order small base circle?

 

My car is running a cc306 right off the shelf in my 383. I dont think you need a small base circle to run the cam.
