do you think a 383 stroker with le2 heads and a good cam can put out good power and beat a bolt on ls1

 

Well i'm just going to say you should be able to but your leaving out more details about the set up.. What kinda of trany, what stall/clutch, what rear end and gearing, exhaust system, supporting mods???

And what kind of bolt on LS1 you talkin about.. bolt ons mean different things to different people..

 

the 383 is a yank 3200 and rear end is 373 gears. i mean bolt on as headers, exhaust, and cai

 

If you go from a stop and get traction you shouldn't have a problem...

 

...you should walk away from him. You have a stall, gears, and 50+ horsepower on him. Shouldn't really matter how you race

 

As long as the builder of the 383 LT1 wasn't completely brain dead there is no way any kind of bolt on LS1 should be able to come close to you. Maybe 5 years ago people might have had different opinions but these days a good aggressively built 383 LT1 puts out well over 500rwhp and a stock LS1 puts out between 280-310 rwhp, so a bolt on LS1 will never be close to your numbers if the build was done aggressively and correctly. You should still be well over 100 rwhp beyond the usual bolt on LS1.

 

Double the HP?

 

I'd say 500 rwhp is high, doesn't lloyd say something around 400-420 for his LE2 setup?

 

le2- id say 400-450rw depending on how aggressive it is. Mild or wild.

 

No one informed me 500rwhp was the new 420whp for the LT1 either, don't feel left out.


That camaro "should" walk away from the ls1. Unless someone sucks.
