any thoughts on this combo? ive got the motor built and all that has to be done is the cam put in. but ive heard some people say that the lt4 is not a big enough cam. but the guy that built my motor said that i cant go too big and this guy is old time. hes been machining motors for years and hes the best around here. he is carring out his fathers legacy and he really is awesome. but ive heard that the lt4 isnt big enough i need somethoughts. ive got pacesetter long tube headers with cut outs on both headers then the y pipe comeing off of the cutouts. thats the exhaust setup. ive got some guys here called alabama dyno pros who will be tuning the car. and just so you know its a 96 z28. and i need somethoughts about doing a 350turbo swap. (much cheaper to build :P) thanks guys all and any help/suggestions/ideas will be great. any questions just ask

 

the size of cam u can go with is going to depend on ur heads. if you are running stock heads you can overcam pretty easily.

 

im going to run stock heads but they wont be stock. as in im going to use the lt1 heads. just do everything to them.

 

if you had the guy build the motor youve gotta listen to him about the cam recomendation

 

yeah thats what i was thinking. he said the lt4 would be perfect... so i think i will buy it. i think the price was dropped i seen it on some gmpp site for 602. and the chevrolet place here says 736. and 100 would be nice to save.

 

oh yeah i got a new toy as well sence the last time i was on here. and that would be my 07 zx6r gawd i love bikes. 174 and 11.4 in the 1/4 :P

 

The LT4 cam is on the small side for a 383, heck I would not even bother with that cam on a stock cube engine.

 

I tend to agree with JD. The hot cam was designed fora Little extra kick over the stock350 LT1/4engine.The larger the engine the more cam and port volume it can tolerate and still be streetable,and at high RPM the 383 can use much more cam timing and lift than the hot cam provides.

 

well can someone point me to a kit that offers everything that the hotcam kit provides and a price?

 

I would really hesistate to go with a more extreme cam than the engine builder recomends. Why would you trust him to build out the entire engine, but not to pick the cam? You can easily overcam an engine, you already said you are running stock heads, I REALLY would just go with whatever your engine builder suggests. If he built the motor,he knows what combo is going to run best.
