I wish I understood the relation ship of all the cam science but I don't, I feel this car should keep making power to 6500 and I feel its a little soft in the middle I don't want to lose drivability or much if any torque downstairs. I am NOT trying to make maximum horse power but clearly looking for gains hopefully across the board, I am trying to get motor the way I think it should be..
I had done a 383 n my 97 ram air lt1 and I did the lt4 hot cam back then and I loved it..

This engine has exceptional mid-range with peak torque right around 4400rpm. It's peak power is right in-line with previous generation LS engines which range from 5800-6300rpm.
A gen 3 383 LT1 with a Hot-cam doesn't make near the power or torque that a gen 5 LT1 does. I had a 383 LT1 with a 230/236 114 cam. The heads and Intake were ported by LPE. It ran good but it's still not close to this engine. These engines make 480-500whp with bolt-ons and E85. Nothing before it comes close except the LS7.
