LT4 hotcam with 1.6 rockers or the cc503 cam. The hotcam will pass emissions and the cc503 should. I can not say for sure on the cc503 as mine is still on the shelf waiting to go in the tpi or lt1 when I get the swap started or rebuild the tpi. Both have a slight "lope" but if you must pass an emissions test I would not go with more cam.

With 3.27 gears I would go with something a little smaller such as the LPE cams of a 211/219 or the 219/219 cam. Many people have great results with them. Any comp or crane cam in the 214/220 would work great too. The LT4 is a good cam but meant for a little higher gearing and better flowing intake/exhaust. It will be better with more compression too. I have a hot cam in a 355 TPI engine with TFS heads. I just kinda tossed that engine together so I didn't have to drive a 305 all summer.

Car: 87 IROC - 67 Camaro
Engine: 383 TPI - ZZ4 TPI
Transmission: 700R4 in both cars
Axle/Gears: 3.27 - 3.36 posi in both cars
I have 2 TPI cars (67' Camaro & 91' Chevy truck) using the chevy ZZ4 cam. Works great with TPI and it's not that expensive. About $200.00 from Pace Performance. My 3rd TPI car (87' IROC 3.27 gears) has a 383 with TPIS ZZ9 cam, maybe a little too expensive but it is a modified ZZ4 grind (more radical than a ZZ4). All my cars are MAF systems like yours, so a cam change requires NO re-programing!!!
