Attn: 383 people, should I switch cams?
The current cam can be found here. Its the second Nitrous HP cam(in the blue part)
http://www.compcams.com/catalog/064_065.html
My current setup is as follows.
383 stroker
TFS twisted wedge heads 10.5:1 compression
1.5:1 aluminium roller rockers
TRW forged flat top pistons.
hydralic flat tappet cam as shown in above link
670TBI with 85# injectors for now.
intake is undecided. Probably performer RPM or a Weiand.
This cam was orginally ran with a blower and I feel that these heads are made to breath and this cam is costing ~40HP. Is it worth it to go ahead and switch cams out? Which one?
I was thinking something in the 224/234 @.500/.500 112-114lsa
I really don't want to push it to 510 lift. Also would 114 LSA cost me much power. Trying to be streetable.
