Re: turbo cam for 383

if you did a holley stealth ram or a victor E EFI type intake, with elbow and TB, with those AFR 195's, you could do what I had:

Jones custom grind 292/292 233/233 .564/.564 112 lsa. Hydraulic roller. Designed for a 383 using AFR heads and twin turbos on a medium runner length intake like stealth ram or victor efi.

Driveable and powerful. I ran this on my 400 but it was designed for a 383.

Depends on your hp goals... my 400 was in the 650whp range on street tune, thru a TH400 and big stall on mustang dyno. likely 700wp on dyno jet, maybe 750-780 with a locked converter or manual trans. Just guessing at that point.

Drove well and streetable

If it is either a on the cheap forge crank(Eagle etc) or a cast crank,I don't think a twin turbo on that is a good idea.
