Need suggestions for a cam for my 383
Right now i have a LT4 Hotcam and stock ported heads. I'm hopeing soon to have new heads and a better rearend. Right now it's a 2.77 posi. I'm running a LT1 manifold and Edelbrock headers.... And will be converting to Speed Density along with the cam and heads swap. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help in advanced.

I am using the LT4 Hotcam in my new 383 and I have no quams with it. This past weekend, on street tires with a 3:27 gear I trapped at over 105 mph.
According to a calculation I did I have roughly 340 rwhp. Not bad for a 383 that has a long way to go in tuning.

Hrm, then maybe i have something more wrong...It just feels like i've lost power... Nothing really strong about it just.........Goes...
I actually believe my old 350 Setup was faster with the stock cam.
