Its a built 4l60e from performabuilt.
Rear end will eventaully be a 12 bolt.
As for the cam i was thinking either AIs 230 / 238 - .575/.575 - 110 LSA or their 234 / 242 - .575/.580 - 110 LSA
i need it to be very drivable cause this will be my daily driver for a while. but i want good power as well.
so i think i will be going with AIs 200cc heads and cam along with their full valve train package and ported intake.

CID determines heads, those two determine cam, those three then determine stall.
Naw, that's too simplistic. There are some other variables to consider like C.R., exhaust system, rear end gear ratio, trans type, intended use, idle quality, gas mileage, emissions, probably some more I can't think of right now.

Okay well my compression ratio will be around 12 to 1, me exhaust is pacesetter longtubes y pipe and tsp rumbler. but will be switching to GMMG in the near future. rear end gears will be 3.73s,trans is a performabuilt level 2, car will be 90% street with a little track use. so i need the idle to be decent i dont care about gas mileage and it would be nice to pass emissions but if not im okay with that aswell.

Okay so as a couple of you know im planning to build a forged 383. I have the shortblock with a forged eagle crank and forged eagle 6.000inch rods and i will be installing some mahle forged pistons.
Now i have been planning on running Lloyd Elliot LE2 heads and cam. But when i took a look at Advanced Inductions website there 200cc heads seem to make a little more power and also offer a full valve train package.
So i guess what i want to know is what have been your guys experience with these companies?
is one better than the other?
Also should i have AI port my intake or should i have someone els do it cause they seem to be a little pricey on that. or is it worth it?
thanks guys

Last I read AI had the intake manifold porting nailed. This was mentioned in one of the magazines. No price was given and I haven't read any posts from anyone actually having AI port theirs. Maybe he/she will chime in.
You might want to look into Extrude Hone to see what they offer about the intake.
Just another option to consider.

Okay so what size cam do you guys think i should go with?
And i would be really happy if i could get into the 11s on motor. cause i was originally looking for 12s and then 11s on spray.
also i have never heard of extrude hone. any info about them? anyone use them?
