Dyno testing my 383
Here's data on the final dyno run:
Peak: 399.3 HP @ 5400 RPM / 455.8 #ft @ 3300 RPM
Average: 338.8 HP / 440.4 #ft
Dart Iron Eagles, 180cc runners, 72cc chambers, 2.05/1.64 valves
Speed Pro flat top pistons (9.7:1 compression ratio)
ProComp full roller rockers
Wolverine Blue Racer Cam, 224*/234* @ .05, .469/.488 lift, 110* LSA
Performer Plus Cyclone intake (Edelbrock RPM knock-off)
650cfm Edelbrock
I picked it up last night and plan to install it Memorial Day weekend. And my brakes are scheduled to arrive any day now, so I might be ready for the Pigeon Forge event after all.

Is that what you were looking for??? or did you want more?? I personally want more from my 383, but I have a bigger hyd roller and a TPIS intake, but that still a healthy street motor,

Ditch the Edelbrock 650, install at least a Holley 750 or something similar and I would think you should be in the 400hp range. Or am I completely incorrect by thinking a better carb will get you more HP???

nice numbers
i think if you had gone with a bit bigger cam you would see a bunch more hp, something in the 235-240 @.50, are you happy?

Hey, I was just looking for a good streetable small block with a strong torque curve. This setup works for me at the moment. Might tweak it later, but for now, I'm happy!

Your gonna love the stroker motor.
Your engine is really close to my setup and I was able to pull my front tires off the ground at the track about 2 inches.

You have a decent foundation for when the hp./trq. hunger hits. Swapping the heads, intake, and cam would turn it into an entirely different engine. Originally Posted by 68driver
