383 Stroker Cam Choice
Well....looks like I lost a lifter so I'm having the shortblock refreshed (383 Stroker) w/AFR 230 heads and am currently running a TSP cam 224/228 .581/.588 114 cam but am looking at either the 228R or their Stroker Cam which is 244/248 .615/.615 112 - any advice would be helpful. Looking to keep her NA for a bit so wanting the most out of her as possible. Rest of mods are in my SIG. Thanks.

I'd stay away from that 244 cam. That is really meant for 400ci+ engines. It would probably work but you would have to rev it to the moon.
I'd keep the current cam honestly. If you want to change it and just spend money, get one on a 111-112lsa.

Yeah - I hate to spend the $ but I lost a lifter and scuffed the cam - so it goes. Will most likely go with the 228R since I drive this thing daily. Thanks for the input - I really appreciate it.

Cam selection is largely dependent on what you want to do. Na/FI
Terravasts cam is actually a middle of the road. It's more suited for na with the small exhaust bias however will still compliment a boosted setup. On the 383 it takes a bit more consideration imo, reason being you add CI but don't gain the bore increase to facilitate the larger 4" bore heads without having valve shrouding. Timing the valve events to optimize the increase in piston speed is beneficial.
