Big cam in a big cube motor works good. I wouldn't call that cam too big. Put it in a 318 and we're talkin' problems! tmm
Overcammed or not, that sucka sounds awesome younggun-what bottom end are you running in your 383?
Young Gun,If that's a 294s Comp solid, no apologies needed. Good grind. I have seen more camshaft ,on a 9:1 383. Actually,a sweetheart of a can Have one in reserved,for a LA.
Have you had opportunity to run it as is the 1/4 yet?

In my 408 with 10.5:1 compression, I'm running a Comp Cams CRS 292H-10 with a 727 TorqueFlite and a 2,200 stall converter.
Total lift: .501. 292 degrees duration at .006 and 244 degrees at .050; .334 lift at .050.
I sure wouldn't want a bigger cam with the automatic and this converter. It is supposed to be a street car! It will barely idle.

That's because your combo is NOT overcammed. It's UNDER converted. ...and badly. It can stand a heap more cam....long as you add a heap more converter.
You beat me to it lol

Great minds think alike......but wait........so do stupid ones. LMAO
I was not thinking my current cam is to big. It was a regrind from my old 9-1 360 that had a 305h comp cam in. Changed it to a 508 mopar cam and was dissapointed it slowed down.
Hope to see you guys in Cedar Falls this year. Keep us posted!

Thanks for the advice, Rusty. I don't want to hijack the thread, but how high a stall speed do you think is desirable in a car driven on the street? I don' think I want to have to rev up to 3,000 before it would connect.
