Just a few questions

What kind of car is it going in?
What gear do you plan on running?
How much stall do you plan on running?
What tranny are you going to run?

That cam is to big for a car 90%driving on the street . And your gear is to small . A smaller cam in that 383 will give you bigger power .

Hey, TANGO, don't you know that it's against forum rules to post under multiple names or to try to get around a suspension by using another name?

We have our ways of finding these things out, you know. Wanna come clean?

ook so if this one is too big what specs should i go for???

[machine shop tom]

If I had to pick from the two you have listed, I would pick the Lunati.

I agree with Tom on the Lunati. When it comes to cams always err to the smaller side. One of the rules of thumb is that more cubic inches will tolerate more duration. You didn't mention your compression ratio. Also at what lift did the 300 cfm number come at?

[HSR383TPI]

oook well the compresion ratio is not set for now it depends on what gasket i will put but i wnat something between 10.5 to 10.88:1 and for the 300cfm flow it comes at .6 lift...i just found a new cam that can be very interesting comp cam 12-419-8

[HSR383TPI]

what you guys about the cam 12-419-8 is it better than the two others one??

[RippinRon]

What are you running for the ecm? Is this a speed density system? I would run something with a wide lsa.

[HSR383TPI]

i will run the commander 950 ecm and yes it's speed density i call the guy that is goign to assembled my head and he told me that i should go with at least .580 of lift or else it wont be enough and the car will choke a little bit so what you think???

[inquiring_mind2]

You go to a website called www.lazercams.com I built an 383 stroker and I got a cam from this place. It really made it come to life. They are a little bit more expensive but I really seemed to like it alot.
