Re: 383 is FINALLY running

The shop doing my tune is in Keller (just north of Ft Worth). I am not sure who is near you for "hands on" tuning.

I will create another thread to have people guess my SAE RWHP # and I'll pay pal $10 to the person closest to that #.

I should have dyno #'s in the next two days depending on when he starts the tune and how much hell he has with it.

Re: 383 is FINALLY running

Well, my combo doesn't like rear tires 3000 miles on what were once new tires and I don't do brake stands People turn to see me coming from a 1/2 block away. My car is rude as hell when I get on it but still is extremely streetable, 'cept when I am in a hurry...but thats another story. Hope you have many happy, tire eating, miles

Thank god a Camaro can sit in cruise at 110mph! That drive from Midland to your place would have taken a LOT longer if it didn't!

Re: 383 is FINALLY running

Pulls fine and the RPM problem was a PCM problem of some sort. Revs clean to 6400-6500 RPM shift point now . . . . . . . BUT . . . . . . . I need a trans now. It's puking fluid and doing weird things.

My father is having heart surgery June 14 and I am spending alot of time with him and the car is taking a back seat.

After the heart surgery and things settle down with my fathers health, the car will get more attention but as it is, the car is just sitting.

Drove home from Houston trying to stay "near" the speed limit with no radar detector when I bought the hawk.
Too many guys with dark glasses and flashing lights on their car for my liking.

Hit that OK border, pulled out the old cobra and the rest of the drive to KC was a blur

Re: 383 is FINALLY running

As far as pushing these cars around, I find it easier to turn the drivers side rear wheel. Anyway, that's how I shoved mine around singlehandedly when I was hacking on it, and BTW, yours is no more heavier than anyone elses is, unless theys tripped lots of stuff from it. My 95 TA tipped in at 3560# +-10# and I added lots of heavy stuff in the past. Anyway, good luck with it!!!
