Scooter, see how much interest a little old 283 has generated here. I bet if the thread was "350 and a Slight Hop Up" we wouldn't be at 4 pages already! I don't know if you already have a performer intake on your shelf or not, but I use the Performer EPS on my 283. It's made for a square bore carb and now you can get it with the oil fill tube provision too. I like mine and I simply painted it to match my block to keep a more stockish look. My cam is the economical Summit 1102 style grind....it seem to work well. I know people say it's outdated now, but I prefer to call it "tried and true". I did Google the cams The Captain mentioned and I was intrigued. Since I'm by know means a cam expert, (and he seems to know his stuff) I wonder if he could elaborate a bit more on them as now he's got my curiosity up too....Captain?
