Cam suggestions
Due to blowby(and not the kind from serious boost levels :-))
am currently undertaking a new side project and building a 383 with all foresite of boosting it within the nest yr/two...
383 obviously , forged , etc......(and associated compression in then 8.0-1 range with 9.0 max ceiling)
Engine will be in this year runnign ported vortecs and SDPC lower base with hogged out SLP runners and ported plenum up top.. If Holley actually makes the StealthRam for the vortec heads(supposedly by the end of the year), this will find its way on the motor when humanly possible..
Once house is bought and space to tear down some of the car and do some fab work I am planning on running a singe turbo setup and some where around 12-15 psi using the Sy/Ty ecm.
My current thinking on the cam is something with 220+ish intake and mid 220+-230 on the exhaust with a 114 or so LSA...
I hate tearing into working/fresh engines(even though i do it for a living) and am looking for a good choice for all around street(keyword street, did i mention street is the keyword) cam to compliment my setups. Yes I know one may cost me 20hp there or blank ft lbs there, but im trying to balance everything out, boosting it will definitely make my life easier in the cam department :-)
Just seeing whos running what around here and what you guys think of my current thoughts
later and thanks
