i have a 305 tpi 91z full exhaust and ported intake.., i am buildin a 383 stroker for it..(slowly),but i have some extra l98 heads i wanna throw on. what cam should i use? any ideas would be appreciated.
any power "guestimations" would be cool to,thanx

 

Maybe a bit more info is needed here.

Are you saying that you are planning to put L98 heads on a stroker motor?

 

oh sorry...i want to put the l98's on the 305 for now.
the 383 is in the garage awaiting the afr 195's and forged rotating assembly.

 

Those heads wont flow the best, stick a hot cam in there for now. Maybe a ZZ4.

 

well i planned on porting them, and the intake.

 

still building up that 383.. been what.. 4 years now uve been saying that?

 

yeah,its been a while,but its ok,ive been building the rest of the car to take the power.im doing it myself,better than buying something already done,or paying someone else to build a car for me.

 

true, i c where ur coming from.. id rather wait 4+ years vs 1 month too

 

I'm guessing they are aluminum L98's? If so, why not sell them to help pay for the stroker?

 

Compared to what? If he is going to keep it under 200 runner volume those are hard to beat. If he goes over 200 than they can easily be beaten. More info is needed.

 

Are they aluminum or iron L98 heads? I just wouldn't want that little LB9 over-cammed. It'll be a bitch to tune.

 

I thought you were speaking of the AFR 195s. My bad.

 

The hotcam isn't a good choice for the LTR TPI ( if you are keeping the long tube runners) . I tops out 2300 rpm above where that infernal TPI wall is .... the zz4 may be a better choice ....but there are better ones too . Just call compcams ....tell them what you got and, they will give you a good recomendation. Just be carefull what you ask for . Some ask for the biggest cam ...and wonder why it idles crappy
