You can get a cam from Comp Cams that would be 264*/268* with about .661" lift on the intake and exhaust and your choice of LSA.

It would probably perform worse than ****.....but at least it'd be "a huge cam".

Jus' sayin'.....

^^^ What he said.

I ran your old cam in my 350 with those same heads.
If your stroker has a fairly high CR, you might want a bit more duration this time. What is the CR?

Right?! It's ridiculous.

OP. We really need to know goals and engine specs to help you out.

What transmission and gear ratio are you using? Do you know your compression ratio? What size valves are you using? It's not as simple as you're trying to make it. My suggestion ... contact Lloyd Elliott ... he knows as much as anyone when it comes to the Gen II LT1 motors.

I'd contact AI, you already have heads ported by them so I'd guess they would know what cam will perform with those heads in that application

What is wrong with getting the same cam from AI?
Especially if that cam was a combination with the heads you have. Not to mention bigger is not always better...

My understanding is that his previous cam is spec'd for 350 cubes; now he's going 383.
