Cam for a stock 383

Mrpatel said

I recently bought a 68 Dart GTS 383. the car is all stock and I am thinking about putting a larger cam into it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what would be the largest or best cam that I could go with? 727 trans, 2800 stall, 3:23 gears, stock intake & exhaust, 906 heads. I was thinking about a MP 509, but I am concerned that it will kill the low end.

Yea I'd agree with Adam on this one. The .509" is more meant to come on from 3200 upwards and with your gearing, stall and stock intake and exhaust I'd say go with a cam with a lift around .485, like the MP .484 or there abouts. I'm running the .509 (love it by the way) but I'm running a higher stall, 3200 higher gears, 3.91, headers and high rise and she's right in the meat of that cam.
