Default cam choice.

Hi all, in my 64 with a sbc 383 stroker with one piece main and AFR 180 heads,(roller lifters, 1.5 roller rockers) i wiped out my hydr roller comp cam 08-423-8 (XR276HR-10, 224/230, 502/510. This cam is not available new, on delayed backorder. Does anyone have suggestions for an "available" cam choice.
Do spirited street driving and occasional 1/8th drag.
Thanks.
Frank

Join the XE failed cam club
Id call Ron at Isky or Dave over at Crower they have been around forever and sell good stuff.
There is a run on cores right now, bet either one has a nice piece in stock for you.
