probably make in the neighborhood of 390-410

can go with an electric water pump ...

and if you go with hooker long tubes you will get more over the SLPs

everything else seems to be pretty good... try to change the fuel pump if you can just for reliability ( u said stock i assume it has a lot of use ) and extra flow for the stroker

Thats a little off IMO. Even with the mid SLP's, that motor should still make 430-440 rwhp.

I would definately junk the SLP's though. You'll make a decent bit more power with the Hooker longtubes. That setup has the potential for 450/450 or more

Check out our LT1 section for a little better info on your setup, or also www.camaroz28.com as their LT1 section is the biggest on the net. Good luck

I'd guess in the same range. 390-410. The cam is old and rather small for a 383, plus you would want a little bigger cam to combat the poor flow of the heads. I'd get some LT headers and a electric WP. Possibally a underdrive pully also.
Damian, most of the LT-1's i've seen were very stout grade A set-ups if they made 440 to the wheels. I'm sure you've seen a few in your day also, but LT-1's are lack luster when it comes to big HP numbers. For comparison, a MTI 396 with MTI Stage 2 ported LT-4 heads and the same cam puts out about 430 here locally. The mods as compared to above are almost identical. JMO

400 RWHP. If you add a water pump. My 409 LT4 with a hot cam only made 390 rwhp and 420 rwtq through a auto.

Im swapping to a solid roller and will be posting dyno numbers.

Shoot for 460 RWHP on motor. See the LT1 section for pics of my motor..
