What is a good intake and carb setup for my car. 69 camaro 383 with a tremec TKO. It will be my street car but mainly for the drag strip.

 

How about more info, like what cam, rear gears, heads does your car have?

Here it is:
383 forged stroker kit
AFR 195 68cc Heads
10.6.1 comp
I don't know what gears yet probley 4.10's or 4.56's
I will be doing a custom cam with like a 500 lift
Tremec TKO

 

Sounds like a drag car. I'd reccomend the Torker II from Edelbrock (and the matching Carb) Or one of the Victor or Victor Jr. Intakes. If you're worried about low end torque for street driving, the best one to get is the Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap. If you're not worried, get one of Summit's dual carb tunnel rams. Edelbrock also has a cam to match that, with 234-244 duration on the intake side and .488 and .510's exhaust lift.

With Edelbrocks Performer RPM package, they made 420 horsepower on a 10:1 compresssion 350. On your stroker it should be good for near 460 horses depending on how well your heads flow.

 

The 195 head is going to limit you to the Victor Jr. unless you get out the die grinder and port an RPM intake or some other large dual plane to match the head. The 195 has a raised roof; the 190 head flows the same but has a more standard port. The 195 head was specifically designed for the Vic Jr if my memory serves me right.

You *could* use the Edelbrock cam as mentioned above, but here's a tip: that same cam is used in the el cheapo Crane Blazer line, as well as being sold by Elgin. Summit uses the same cam as one of their house grinds, I think its like $79 for cam and lifters. All Edlbrock does is repackage Cranes cheaper grinds as their own, making a tidy profit to boot.

Bulls-Eye Reynolds!

That's the route I'm going. For a while there, Summit also offered a manifold that from what I could tell was based directly off of the Performer RPM, and polished it was still cheaper than Edelbrocks own satin finish!!!

My only quarrem with a Summit cam, is that I read an article in Hot-Rod about cams. And basically it said that there is a lot more to a cam that the specs "we" read for comparison, they go on to say that two identical cams as far as numbers go, can have different affects on the car.

But, having said that, I am almost certain that the Summit brands are probably made in house at Edelbrock (or Crane) etc. And the logo is for-gone. So it is in this instance the exact same cam.
Differance between Yukon and Tahoe - one you just pay more for.

with exception to the heads, you could get the Performer RPM equipment - cam, intake, and carb. for well under 500 bucks. And I'm guessing that will gain you around 70 horsepower (+ or -)

Edit: ignore the third paragraph, I didn't read your whole post till after the fact.
