Thread: Building a street 383, looking for cam advice and other suggestions

Tweet

I have your static compression ratio at 9.48:1, which will want a cam somewhere between 208 and 216 degrees intake duration @0.050". If it were up to me, I'd use a Howards CL110235-10S if you need reduced base circle to clear the cam lobes. If you used rods that clear the cam on their own, then use CL110235-10. Both these part numbers are for a kit, cam and roller lifters. The Dynamic Compression Ratio with this cam is 8.47:1 on the Keith Black calculator. More cam will lower the DCR. Less cam will raise the DCR.

Install straight up, neither retarded nor advanced on these 0.050" numbers.....
Intake opens 0.5 degrees BTDC
Intake closes 32.5 degrees ABDC
Exhaust opens 31.5 degrees BBDC
Exhaust closes 5.5 degrees ATDC

If there is another grinder that you like better, call them up and get a recommendation.
