what cam??

[gordo1968charger]

i was going to go with new wheels and tyres this year but i m skint,so i m just going to freshen the engine with a new cam,as its a relatively easy and cheap upgrade.
engine is mainly stock but runs strong,i have a 2800 turbo action torque converter,4:10 gears with gear vendor.
engine is a 383(iron heads) with 4 barrel holley 750 cfm carb.i also have power brakes.

i ve been told i want no bigger than .500 lift,is this true?

All you plan on changing is the cam ?   Try Engle K56/K58 on a 110lsa - should give you more low end torque as well as upper HP

Generally speaking you want to keep the lift under .510 unless the heads have been modified for additional guide to retainer clearance. The Engle K56 will drop right in with no Head modifications. 

You might have to swap out your valvesprings, depending on what is currently installed in your heads. The Comp Cams #911 springs will work work fine with that cam and drop right onto your heads without any machining or retainer changes.

contacted engle cams,is this the right one?
they list a k56hyd    lift 1.6 rockers    0.538           lift 1.5 rockers 0.504   lift at cam   .336       duration @.008 lift 268

duration @.50   224             duration @.200 140
they also need profile on intake
exhaust lobe
lobe seperation
and the degree of advance or retard
thanks
guys

[firefighter3931]

Yes that is the correct lobe profile. Tell them you want the k56 intake and k56 exhaust lobe on a 110 LSA ground with 4* advance. The installed centerline will be 106* once you degree the cam in (which i highly recommend)
