I spun my stock bottom end/TEA heads, 230/236 on a dyno to 6600, made max power at 6300, and then a rod bearing went bye bye. Then I proceded to drive the car home about 90 miles, in stop and go traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike, in the middle of summer no less with the A/C on at times, and made it home. LOL, man, rod bearings 5 and 6 were HAMMERED when I took it apart. Anyhow, I run AFR 210's with a welded/epoxied/ported LT4 intake, AS&M 58 TB. I think the 210's are the way to go on a 383 or 396. If you can top it off with a Super Vic intake converted to EFI, then you will really be in good shape

BTW guys this is on a 383!

 

So then spinning the motor to 6300 on my LE2 setup shouldn't be a problem? The motor should be making to about that, maybe a little more, I would hate to see that go to waste, thats why I ask. I don't want to splay the b!tch because of how much money it costs. Just making sure that the studded main caps will be able to hold about 400rwhp/380rwtq spinning to about 6300.

Anyone drive this setup around town? Looking for some more feedback on this setup from LE.

 

I've sun 430rwhp 383s with 2 bolt mains to 7000rpm so it can be done.

Any have any sound clips with a setup like this? Or idea of how loud this setup would be with true duals and dumps...?

Looking for a good sounding exhaust now to go with this setup. I'm not sure how much louder it is now compared to the 350 cam only setup.

 

hmm this motor sounds familiar, lol
