cam only?

if you make 450 you would be in an elite few.......

More like cam only....375 or so at the flywheel.

I have seen alot of his cam specs online now...so I plan to copy them and start my own line of cams called Bert Browers......made in china

well you didn't specify...if your chasing dyno numbers I'm sure you can get 430 or so rwhp.....maybe 525 or so crank

It depends on alot of factors for making big horsepower but you should make 500+fwhp with a 10.1+ compression 383 as long as everything is right. Tuning is a big part and there is also good exhaust, no knock retard, fuel system, making sure everything is just right. I made 412rwhp thru a loose converter/ Th350 setup with my 355" Lt1. Now I am building a 383 to see what kind of horsepower we can make with Lloyds head cam setup. Later Clint
