Cam recommendations for my 383
Hello everyone, I have a 84 383 that has a Mini Ram Intake, GM Fastburn heads, 27lb Injectors, Hot cam kit, 3.73 rear, Richmond 6 and some other goodies that puts out a respectable 340RWHP and 350RWTQ.
I have been told by many people that I could use more cam with this engine combo. The specs on the GM Hot cam are 112LSA 218/227Duration .525 .525Lift.
If any of you cam gurus could recommend a cam that would better suit my engine and that would give it more power that would be greatly appreciated

We need to know about emissions and whether you want alot more lope to it.
That combo is just about perfect for a frequently street-driven car.

I might do a little porting on the heads and throw in a CC306, with a 383 underneath to tame its more aggressive lope it should be great.
