Default Yes yet another Cam question ;)

Hello all,

I realize how much of a fire storm this will probably start but I just had to ask. The over all details are below but in a nutshell I'm pulling the motor due to another issue (long story) and while it's out I'm going to go through it again. What woud recommend for a cam? End result will be a 388 stoker; currently it's a 383 with the Hot Cam. Obviously I want about 4.2 million horsepower, 8.9 million ft lbs of torque @ 3 RPM and 231 MPG. If those goals are unreachable I'll settle for a strong motor with good street-able manners. Motor will probably never see over 6200RPM. Looking forward to the responses, thanks all.

I would recommend the Comp Cams 280XFI HR13.

Specs:
230/236 Duration @ .050
.576/.570 lift (1.6 rocker ratio)
LSA 113

I would call a top notch cam designer to have a custom grind made for your cars characteristics and your desires! Todays new tech is terrific and cams are pretty cheap in regaurds to how much it changes your cars attitude.
