383 cam recommendation
Hi,
I,m my plan is to build a 383 sb for my -69 L46 4sp coupe, want a recommendation for which roller cam I should choose. I do not want to change the hood so I will keep the 2101 intake and I want to achieve as much as possible hp/tq in combination with the components below
355 block, 4-bolt (96-00)
Eagle stroker kit
9,8:1 compression
Aluminium heads 180cc intake, 64cc combustion, 1.60/2.02 valves
Edelbrock 2101 intake
Quickfuel 650 DP
Headers
HEI distributor
Roller rockers
Roller cam
Opinions are welcome
Håkan

If you want just any 'ol cam, keep reading here. Because no one will have exactly the same engine. Close, but not exact.
If you want the "perfect cam", then contact 3 - 4 of your favorite cam companies and give them the data you provided. Except 4 bolt mains, dizzy, roller rockers do not pertain to cam selection. You will be asked an additional 12 - 15 questions that will dial in exactly what you are after and your intentions with the vehicle.
After studying the 3 -4 cam specs choices given by the companies, see how close they match each other.
Then decide where you should order it from. You want to get this right the first time. Shipping to Europe has to be (insert word here) ?
