383 Stroker Cam ???
<TABLE class=w100p id=main_table cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR id=Post_7793793 vAlign=top><TD class="brdr1_b brdr1_t bg_grey pad mgn_t fm_clr2" colSpan=2></TD></TR><TR><TD class="pad fm_clr2" colSpan=2>Here is the my situation; I have a 383 stroker in a 1977 4x4 truck that is used stricktly for mud drags in 200' mud pits. I have to pull 17" of vaccum @ 1000 rpm (with out vac. pump) and I can only use factory cast iron heads.
Curently I have;
383 Stroker (400 crank turned)
I beam rods
461x heads (2.02 and 1.6)
Edelbrock preformer intake
comp cam hydrolic cam 243/243 @.050 and 518/518 lift on 112 lsa
Holley 700dp
Pistons are dome top -9.5 don't know cr on them though!
373 gears (mini spool front and rear)
th350 transmition
np203 transfercase
3500 stall(but only stalls about 2200 in low range)
I found a good deal on a solid roller cam (lunati pn: 50139) 226/232 @ .050 and 502/502 lift with a 112 lsa. and Lunati pop up roller lifters. (I plan on using 1.6 roller rocker for about a 522? lift).
My current cam is only pulling about 12-13" of vac @ 1000rpm and I have to run with the big spenders. (I am hanging with them and been placing, but.......
Would this be a good change?, would I get more torque and hp? I understand about upgrading to vortec heads and performer rpm intake (has to be duel plain). But just dont have the money for it at the moment.
