Default IVC calculation

I'm trying to calculate DCR for my 383 build so as to pick the best camshaft.

SCR: 10.85:1
Rod Length: 5.75"

By toying with the DCR calculator a bit it looks like I need an IVC event at about 62 degrees ABDC to get a DCR of about 8.88:1

How do you go about determining IVC for various camshafts? I'd like to compare the various cams in the cam selection guide but I can't locate any data for most.

That's a great start, thanks.

I was hoping there was an archive of this sort of information that I had missed in my searches...looks like not
