Is this cam too small for a 383/489 stroker?

I like that cam, i don't rev super high and i would rather slightly undercam than overcam if it's gonna be a driver.. i'm overcammed right now and it sounds amazing but will be annoying..

Great cam choice, put a six pak & stealth heads on top of it. Over-camming a stoker engine is very popular these days. Big hp numbers on the big rpm end don't mean squat when the tires ares spinning and brand x runs away.

Thanks, that was the original plan and still a good option!

Bob Mazzolini Racing (Riverside Ca.) builds a lot or 432/383s and really make astonishing
power with them to my surprise. I would talked to them about the combo.

They do much better than the 400 engine builds. When I talked to them they said the 383
cylinder walls sonic test much thicker and have better ring seal. They are also a very inexpensive
build as the produced 6,000,000. 383 engines and parts are inexpensive (440 Crank cut down).

I was skeptical = However Bob and I have very similar 68/69 Valiants in weight. My stock stroke
440 plus 030 runs 10's and at the same track his 383/432 RUNS well in the 9's in the 1/4 with pretty
similar builds much to my embarrassment.

Bob and Ken apparently know their stuff much better than I do!

Thanks, I'll check him out. My goals are much more modest, I actually don't want to make more than around 500 HP and would be happy still with a little less out of this numbers matching motor. I think it was on the Motortrend.com site that I found another 383 stroker build where they got over 650HP on the dyno before one of the cylinder walls split. Definitely don't want to go down the same path if I can avoid it! Thanks, Jim

I read either here, or A-bodies, that Bob Mazzolini is having some serious health problems, and might be in the process of closing his shop. Better call soon.
