Default 383 build HP guesses

Just looking for some guesses at the final WHP of this build. Hoping for 450-500.

Eagle 4" crank
wiseco -8cc pistons
PRC stg2.5 5.3 heads milled to 61cc's
234/238 .602"/.615" cam
LS7 lifters
LS6 intake
36# Injectors
pacesetter 1 3/4 headers

should be about 11:1 CR
...and a whole mess of gaskets, etc for the rebuild.

Looks like you're about right. But that's my desktop butt dyno talking.

Any advice if upgrading to a walbro 255 would be worth it on this build? It's going into an 04 GTO.

Any other opinions on the numbers would be appreciated too.

Those 36# injs are going to "have their tongue hanging out" at 500RWHP....rerun the math using FWHP.

I agree with old geezer....look around for some 42lb injectors because the ones you have now will be maxing out pretty quick
