[lilredls1]

ok so im gunna start building a 383 stroker and im using a kit from white performance eby Item number: 330370159384 and running a 488/510 edelbrock performer rpm cam double hump heads and a performer intake and 600 carb how much hp/tq do you think i will be pushing? and what sze stal should i buy? thanks

you might want to try a different forum. most of these guys are running ls1/5.3/6.0 motors. An old school stroker motor with a carb/edelbrock intake is a whole different world then a genIII fuel injected motor.

Have you looked into the "matched" Edelbrock kit? 415 HP on a 350, prob get you close to 500 on the 383.

heads, intake, cam, hardware, etc....

You can run a carb on a Gen III motor. And you can also get a 383 from an LS1.

I think what we need is a little more info on the build. If it's an SBC or an LS motor. The cam specs. What it's going in. What the plans are. Things like that.

double hump heads and a performer intake


makes me think old school...only reason i made that post

Yup - double hump heads are 45-year-old old school. They will also restrict your ability to make HP. IIRC, they have 165cc intake runners. Lose them and get a set of 185-200cc heads from current technology. They're worth about an additional 45-50 HP.

Double humps are too small for a 383. marginal on a 350 even. Not to sound like a dick but the combo seems awful mismatched

how heavy is the truck? what size tire? What gears? what transmission? 2 or 4 wheel drive?

Oh, and how much money do you have to spend?
