Not enough information to say yes or no, but that is totally dependent on your goals. Is this a drag car, daily, weekend warrior? What's the quench, static compression, vehicle weight, factory intake, rest of the supporting parts, full cam specs, etc etc?

its pretty much weekend warrior. shooting for a 11.5:1 compression
ported intake to match heads
close to factory weight
all bolt ons

Why the 112? Emissions? Really, in a 383 I'd be looking for more camshaft but it depends on what you're looking for. Did LE grind that for you?

232/240 .578/.574 110 LSA - 2200-6400 RPM
would this be a better cam for me?

Honestly it's probably a question best answered by Lloyd himself, so if it were me I'd call or email him before trusting interweb folks. But for most situations a good rule is less than 230 intake duration in 350ci motors and 230 degrees and up on 383. The cam you posted [232/240] is more in the direction I would go for a 11.5:1 ported heads/intake 383.

I had this on a 388ci and it is for sale.

It made 449TQ @ 4700 437HP @ 5400 on the engine dyno with stock heads, so you would be able to do better than that.

Also custom Bullet cams are EXPENSIVE $430 is what I paid for this nitrous motor one.

You don't need one for what you're spraying.

I have a very similar cam from Lloyd on my stock bottom end LE2 setup, 228/236 110 LSA. Like others have said, I would talk to Lloyd since you have his heads and let him pick what would work best.

More exhaust duration and more lsa. I have a 5500 stall so i have a way higher int/exh duration.

pretty sure that cam you show here is with 1.6 rockers. bullet usually lists their lift numbers with 1.6's

Please post your results when you try the new cam.

My 383 in the RX7 has LE2 heads and cam, 228/236 .576/.572 110*LSA, and I'm curious to see what it would do with more cam.
