    "Now, if it were a 383 stroker, where would one be advised to go with the cam????"

    Dave, the new static compression ratio with a 3.750 crank and everything else the same would be 10.22:1. I would actually use a little less cam than he did. Notice that he had to advance it 3 degrees over the already 4 degrees that the cam grinder advanced it in order to make it work in the smaller (355) motor.

    I'd probably use a cam something like this. It's ground on a 114 LSA. You know how I am, I don't give two hoots for the rump-rump. Heck, I'm looking for manifold vacuum Someone else might prefer a cam ground on a tighter LSA.
