Default how about this setup?

*victory racing engines 383 sportsman shortblock
*LE3 heads/cam package

this is what im leaning toward on my build. do u all think this would be streetable? the cam in the le3 package? should i get a different cam or will this cam be the biggest i can go with and be streetable?

this all is going in a automatic trans car. the car is going to be pretty much gutted. what kind of numbers and 1/4 times SHOULD i see from this?

He only releases that when you buy the cam from him, if you buy it used you don't get them

The LE3 on a 350 is pretty much a race cam (made for a 383), LE2 is the way to go for a 350.
Do a search on www.camaroz28.com for LE2 and LE3

Sorry if the pack is the cheapest way to go for instance Lyoid Elliot heads, its the way to go. There isn't much else you can do with an Lt1 turbo,super or stroker W/spray your in the pack if you like it or not. Unless you have an 427 LT1 which is not very realistic to everyone

Different cam and heads perhaps. Agreed that the above package makes great power, and is a proven one. I'm not sure what he meant bynot following the pack either.

Do you intend to use a power adder?
