All forged bottom end on a 383. prolly n/a with an lt1 intake and speed density electronics with accell dfi and afr 190 heads. roller cam for sure, what else do you guy need to know? i want power from 2000ish up to the mid to late 5k's. i really dont want a stall but i might have to go that route. i want a nice idle so i still have brakes at an intersection

thanks alot guys, i dont know camshafts at all

 

Since you'll be running DFI, a decent intake, and don't need the power band to come in till 2000 or so, you can afford to go fairly big cam wise. I forget the grind number, but Comp has a hydraulic roller grind that had a .050 duration of 230in/236ex in a 112LSA. I'd get that or one similar, maybe have it ground on a 114 LSA instead.


Don't underestimate the value of a converter tho, even a fairly low stall Vigilante or Yank can do wonders for a car.

 

Umm, not to pick nits, but you already have a "stall"... The converter that came in your 'F' car should have about a 1,600 RPM stall speed. Raising that to 2,200-2,400 RPM could be a good thing, especially with an LT1 intake.

In order to maintain a respectable idlequality and vacuum, you really need to look at a dual pattern cam like the Comp XE series. Comp 07-304-8 (.500/.510 210°/220°-114° LSA) will give you plenty of lift with 1.5:1 rockers and decent idle. Call them and talk about your needs and get their reccomendation.

 

noone else has any recomendations?

 

like vader says call comp cams. they know everything about cams and which one will work good for your needs.
