I need a bit of help deciding on which cam to put into my 383 that's in my dart sport. As it sits currently it has this cam in it;
21-228-4(Single Bolt) - Xtreme Energy™ Hi-lift Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshafts

And with that cam it made 460 hp and torque in my indy headed 383, but last year at the strip I was a little rev happy with it and the lifters are starting to come apart. So I figure I should replace that cam with something that is a bit more stable at higher rims so I'm going to a sold roller. And I'm undecided between these two:
23-702-9(Three Bolt) - Xtreme Energy™ Street Mechanical Roller Camshafts

23-703-9(Three Bolt) - Xtreme Energy™ Street Mechanical Roller Camshafts

As for the details on the rest of the car, the 383 should be right around 10.5:1 compression, performer rpm intake, got a built 727 with a 3500 stall 10" converter, 4.30 gears out back and it weighs 3200 with my bag of bones in it. And last year it went 11.6 with hardly any tuning done before the tracks closed. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!
