I currently am building a fully forged 383 w/ 4340 eagle crank, eagle h-beam rods (6"), and -5cc srp flat top pistons. Heads are Lloyd Elliot ported trickflows 2.08/1.625, and the LE3 cam (i am guessing, I don't know if he will change the cam for the trickflows/383), and he is porting the intake manifold as well. Comp Pro mag NSA 1.6RR, cromemoly pushrods, CSR e-waterpump, Hooker supercomp LT's, MSD 6AL, MSD 8.5mm, K&N CAI, cloyes double roller timing set. 58mm throttle body, and injectors to match (42lbs?). 6 speed, sotck 10 bolt (at least for 1 month till i get enough to swap)

So what do you all think I should be hitting with cutouts open? Just curious cause this thing is r@ping my wallet. got $7K in it already. Oh, and what kinda times would you expect (with 12 bolt 3.73s since that is what will be going on in 6 weeks)

 

450rwhp

 

Any ideas please, just wanna know what I am looking at with all the money I have invested

Unless ya do something about the 62CC chambers it will probably make in the 390-400 range.

 

from what lloyd said he can get them down a little bit, but he said the loss in compression is more than made up for in the increase in flow.

 

im interested to know because my trickflow heads are sitting right next to yours the last time i was overthere!

 

From what lloyd said, he said that after he worked the trickflows, that the chanber volume would be about 58-59cc. about 11.3-11.4:1 . But he said that the increased flow and the way that the air flows will not only make up for the loss in compression, but make more ower on top of that. From what he was saying, with the 6" rods, -5cc flat top srp's, those heads, cutouts etc, 450rwhp was reasonable, so long as the tuning was on spot.

 

btw he is porting the intake manifold as well

 

I just saw another post saying that Brett is offering a pretty good deal on some sheetmetal intakes - anybody think that it would be worth it to get one, and come on, doesn't anybody on here know of anybody with a similar setup to what I am building, and what kinda numbers it puts down?
