You should also add the rear end gear and transmission if you want a good suggestion.

Unless you have some awful mismatched rear/trans combo that cam is mild for the setup.

Re: What camshaft for 383"

I agree with vetteoz IF you switch to a TPiS Mini Ram II, and a 3.73:1 rear gear.
The issue is the cross-sectional area of the intake ports in your heads, it's too big for long-runner TPI. Otherwise, you could do like in post 6 of this thread: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...st-builds.html
