Cam For 383 Vortec
What cam is working for those of you that are running a 383?
My Vortec 383 TBI build is shaping up as follows:
Modified 50mm 670 CFM TBI
GMPP Vortec TBI manifold w/50mm Venturi ports
18cc D-cup Pistons ~9.6:1cr
Stock 64-65cc Vortec Heads w/Polished Chambers
No porting other than intake matching
Upgraded valve springs good for ~.520 lift
~.039-.040 Quench
OE Roller Lifters
At least roller tip rockers
Edelbrock Headers with EGR
Single large tube Exhaust with Cat
ECM Controlled
Stock Torque Converter
Upgraded 700 Transmission
3.42:1 Rear End Gear
1994 K1500 Suburban
Cruise RPM @ 60mph = ~1680rpm
Vehicle seems to start moving at around 1000-1200rpm and doesn't likely see above 4500rpm before shifting
I have been considering Comp Cams Extreme Energy line for computer controlled vehicles originally equipped with OE Roller cam, either;
08-500-8 206/212 @.050, .480I/.488E, 112LSA
08-501-8 212/218 @.050, .488I/.495E, 112LSA
I'm looking for grunt towing torque for my service vehicle used to pull boats out of the water and up hills - highway performance appreciated but secondary (probably the smaller cam huh?).
I am not experienced enough to know how 383's react to cam specs so any advice would be appreciated.Last edited by MainCap; 12-15-2005 at 05:17 AM.
I got the Skyjacker hydro shocks on and they are as soft as I'm going to get. It still rides kind of firm but better. One of the main issues is the front is about a 1/4 off it's bump stop, the lack...
