Default Heads/Cam for forged 383

I'm looking into what kinds of heads/cam to go with a completely forged 383 lt4 setup. I have heard some good things about lloyd elliots stuff, does anyone have his website address. I was also thinking about going with AFR LT4 210cc. Any suggestions. Also planning on spraying a 200 shot of the juice. Keep in mind this will be a street car as well. Thanks in advance.

Well....I think a LE setup will run out of breathe on the spray. As in you won't gain as much as you should because you will need some serious heads to flow what you need for that type of shot. My vote would be to buy some AFR 215 raised runner heads bare and send them to Lloyd Elliot or TEA, AI, or someone like that. Have them fully ported and stuffed with bigger valves and have a custom grind by any of them. This would work best for your setup and comfortably put you at 600rwhp+ on the gas.

I've heard that Ai has gotten 300cfm out of Trick flow heads. But I'm not positive.

AI (brett) did get 300 out of the twisted wedge castings. Joe O is the man, however I had heard he got out of the business of porting, besides his own stuff??? I don't for sure know that though.

Viper T56
BTW: I will drive on street not drag.. I mean my car will be "highly modified street car" ,not a drag car.. The real reason of the swapping is my camshaft 237/245 584/579 113lsa and with A4 trans it will be not funny to drive in traffic..

Eric ported my stock castings. He is da man. He also ports Joe's stuff along with everything else that you can think of. My heads flow under 250 cfm, I guess my ETs speak for themselves though. BTW, it was cheaper that almost everyone out there
