    get the right cam off the bat then there not much need playing with much of this stuff i used 600+ LIFT on the street you can play with some of this stuff but for the street you may not see a big gain in it .you valve springs and rocker guid slots in heads if no guids must be checked for a bigger rocker .push rods will need to be the right length at mid lift if lets say you have stamp rockers to a roller or different make of rocker arm so new push rods as well when moving a rocker swap. moving the cam your going to need to get at the cam EZ so you a front cover that can do that . as well as taking the front off the engine every time . piston to valve will need to be checked as well as the cam will not hit rods as this is a 383 rods do come in to play. a gear set that will lt you move it 2 at a time and you will need to know were cam is now .there is lot of things to play with before working on this stuff you can do .take to much lash away and you can over heat the valves and cup them . rods can hit on the cam if not check when cam is moved running the engine on a dyno could he you weed threw some of this
