ok, im going to be doing a 383 lt1 stroker, and am going to have some head work done, new springs and everything that comes with the hot cam kit, maybe even port it if i have the money left over, my question is, will i be anywhere past mid 12's with that cam
(lobe lift .328 .328
gross valve lift .525" .525"
lobe centerline 109 degree 115 degree
durat.@.006" 272 281
durat.@.050" 219 228
rocker ratio 1.6 1.6
valve adjustment zero lash zero lash
lobe seperation 112
), 3900 stall converter, 3.51 gears, hooker long tubes, and traction?

 

that's a tiny cam for a 383, it'll fry the tires off anything, but that's not really that fun. With good driving, good traction you'll hit a 12.5, but that'll be on a flyin short time.

 

so you think with a bigger cam, or would i be faster than 12.5 with that cam? btw i forgot to add the s10 is 3200lbs with me in it

 

Wow, I think you should go to a WAY larger cam. Probably in the GM 847 range, cams get "milder" when you step up the cubes.

Also (someone correct me if i am wrong) would he want to go with a cam with a pretty long duration to compensate for the fact that he is using stock castings (unported possibly) with a 383?

 

im also going to be driving it to and from school a lot, as well as to shows and what not, so i dont know if that should affect it too much, if at all possible id like to be somewhere near the 11's, think thats possible?
