well i have been working on this guys car alot recently, and he pays me, ya know that whole deal. but we have been working on his engine, and we have now decided that the camshaft is the weak link. the engine loves advanced timing, and loves to breathe, and it does so freely in every way, tuning is of no issue really, the guys is willing to spend the money. there are the motor specs:
383 Stroker
Bore: 4.02
Stroke: 3.75
fully ported Dart II Heads
Cly Head Chamber Vol: 72cc
Valve Pocket in Piston: 6cc
Deck Height: .02
Gasket thickness: .026 Compressed
Gasket bore: 4.09
Comp Ratio w/ .026 gasket nets 9.89
Comp Ratio w/ .037 gasket nets 9.65
Cam Specs:
Duration @.050 intake 227* exhaust 232*
Lobe Lift: .320 intake .340 exhaust
Lift: 1.5 rr on intake = .480
Lift: 1.6 rr on exhaust = .544
Valve size is 2.02 and 1.60 diameter
30 lb injectors
Custom chip
Headers w/ 3 inch catback
AFPR
58mm TB
LT1 Converted Manifold
700r4 Trans
3.45 gears (Gears can be changed to 3.73)
SLP CAI

oh yeah, and something tells me the 1.6's should be on the intake and not the exhaust right?
anyways, we are looking for a cam that would really maximize this combo. we want the car to be streetable. but by streetable we mean the guy dont care about gas milage really, but he just wants to be able to sit in traffic, incase he ever has to.
as for cam brands, doesnt really matter. any help would be awesome, we have been trying to get intouch with harold as to what would be good in his opinion, but i tried emailing and calling, no dice. i wanna know what you guys think cuz i trust you more than i trust anyone else with advise.

Swap the rockers. 1.6 on the intakes. .020" overbore? Rather unusual.
