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 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.

True, I am one thatjust always likes to air on the side of caution when it comes to camming an engine. I have seen way to many guys out there with motors that could be great runners, but they overcammed; because it becomes more of an ego thing. They want the noticable lope, the crazy sound, and of course more power. What they end up with is a motor that is not a good combo and runs like ****. Thus, I always think very conservatively when it comes to my own cams, and definatly when it comes to giving cam advice to other people-it is so easy to overcam. That is just my general philosophy when it comes topicking a cam.You guys seem to have specific knowledge about the LT-4 Hot Cam though- I dont really know anything more about that cam than whatit says on the box.
