Pretty small cam for a 383 stroker with 205cc heads. I run the 215/224 LE cam in my stock headed lt1 350

@@chevycamaro4323 How is .578 lift a small cam.

@@jrod264winmag yes .578 is a healthy lift number. But for a lt1 383 that cam has very small duration. Its all subjective but generally ppl like at least a 230/236 duration cam with a 383 lt1. And thats considered a mild street cam.

@@chevycamaro4323 My engine builder builds some mean street sbc engines with 218/228 cams with 510/525 lift. I've seen them on his dyno. People over cam street engines all the time. I hope you know this.

@@jrod264winmag lol trust me i know this ! Your mentioned 218/228 duration cam is comparable to the classic hotcam for lt1s. Which is perfectly streetable for a 350ci lt1 with stock heads. This guy has a 383 with big flowing heads. Im very seasoned with the lt1 platform. But sure throw a 215/224 cam in a big headed 383 if you want all low-mid range power. My LE 215/224 .533 lift cam peaks around 5800 rpm on my stock headed 350 lt1. Builds torque as low as 1200 rpm. So i would consider it tiny for a 383. And im actually in the process of getting a splayed 4 bolt fully forged 383 build with 195cc afr heads and will be going with a 230/234 .580 lift cam and even this cam will peak under 6000 rpm and will be mild in my 383. Good street cam. I hate over cammed cars, no low end torque !

You go much faster with advanced induction ported stock heads, a cam, and the stock bottom end....

@@ElteeMullet In fairness he doesn't state what heads he has. Could be stock heads, could be ported stock heads, could be AFRs.....etc. He just said he's getting a 383 short block, and short blocks don't make the power, the top end does.

@@ElteeMullet bullshit. My Golen 383 made 533hp. Chad is the shit and knows what he's doing.

@@ElteeMullet give me a link to everything you just mentioned I want to know the price range for a setup like that

What's the seat timing of the comp cam, and what sort of average power did it do on the dyno. Very similar to my build. Haven't dynoed yet. Engine is going in the car as we speak at a buddies shop.

@@b.c4066 Power numbers are 150whp at 2250 up to 425whp at 6000...it is pretty much a straight line.

Don't forget, its on an engine dyno with no accessories attached. So the numbers report much higher. That engine probably makes in the 380-400whp range. Thats still not a bad number for a small cam engine.

That's what compression and long stroke gives you. Nice broad power that's usable. Most diy guys tend to overcam small blocks.

@@b.c4066 but the 383 can take a cam a bit bigger than a 350 can?

Wondering if you completed your build. And how do you like it if so? I have a LT1 94 Caprice and thinking about building a similar set up

@@justingray3236 Sorry I missed your question. I'm very close to having my engine start up on a homemade engine stand. I have to send my Torqhead ecu out to get a base tune. Howell wiring harness should be here this week. Also gonna order and test a new Aeromotive stealth 2 fuel tank (93-97 Camaro style) for the fuel source for the engine stand. Also need -AN hoses since my stock fuel rails have been converted to connect AN fittings. Also need a new adjustable fuel pressure regulator. For my Camaro my stage 3 T56 is in. My 12 bolt rear and full BMR suspension is in. Just need a clutch. Other than those items and the every day nuts, bolts, and hoses, I'll be ready soon this year. Probably end of summer I'll be dyno ready...

Also gonna order a 2,000 dollar cooling setup for a 93-97 Z28 from Wizard Radiators and Performance. Also gonna order up a scanning tool from HP Tuners to data log with my air/fuel ratio gauges.

@@Savineyard3 getting anything done during the quarantine?

@@cuzz63 Hell No. Everythings been closed and once everybody opens up again, there's gonna be a back log so I don't expect anything getting done until the Fall at the earliest.

Not my motor mine is a 357 with a way bigger cam.

Karl Ellwein or Dennis over at Clinton Machine (CAMS) are the ones you want to talk to.

No this is it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hr-Ept2Q2dXDXWw.htmlsi=Ri55oH4YOKp8QlsU

I have no idea, that's a question for Elliot.

Hooker makes a set that bolts right in with no issues I just bought a set and had no issues installing them

They are all at the end

I think the 98 Tahoe has a 5.7 Gen2 vortec motor. You can get inexpensive SBC heads and a CAM. Not worth swapping to a LT1 unless you already have a LT1 to put in.

confused me too.

I honestly have no idea I was just there filming it.

Those are Hedman headers. I have the same on my 383 stroker in my ‘67 C10 Chevy.

These are clear image headers by Dan Ferrero

@@johnycash2688 Yes exactly

Clear Image for LT1

It is 3 .004" feeler gauges ------ At 12 O'clock, 4 O'clock and 8 O'clock ( between the crank and the seal housing nubs)...then tighten and double check. A sleeve would be nice but I have no machining skills.
