Default 383 stroker setup

OK well i'm pretty much ready to swap my stroker engine into my truck, i 'm wondering what everyone thinks about running this cam in it for a little while. its the MTI b1(maybe) anyways the specs are 221/221 .558/.558 114+4. its the one in my truck right now actually. i will be using 241 heads, milled .015 that are ported to stage 1.5 using stock valves and 918 springs.

any suggestions or opinions?

other info...
eagle 4inch crank
eagle 6.125 h beams

i think that's a good cam to start with. should give you lots of bottom end, mid, and top. let us know what kind of power that thing puts down and 1/4mi times. nice setup!

if youre doing an all out setup that might be a little small, but if youre doing the work yourself it doesnt matter, just slap it in there and change it out later if you want more

thats what im thinking, since i'm doing it myself, i can easily swap later down the road. i was just trying to get an idea of what the driveablitly would be like, since i've never driven something with a big cam.

Driving a truck with a cam thats too big sucks! (I've done it) If you want more later on you can always switch em out, but with the weight of a truck you can really feel the low end loss that bigger cams come with!
