An average well built 383 should reach 460-470ish wheel in an auto and a 9". It will take quite a bit of extra to push 500 wheel unless it is a stick.

Edit: in a street driven car with good manners

 

That throws out 3/4 of the builds. Everyone has a "street car" and the threshold is exactly what their setup is

 

Totally ignores the huge factor of elevation. 70 degree day in Denver with zero humidity still has worse air than a 100 degree day in Florida with 99 percent humidity. Lol Humidity sucks but run a mile in Florida then run a mile in Denver and your lungs are going to hate Denver lol.

 

It was a joke. I'm pretty sure I could find some internet article about how ANY state is the worst. The whole point of DA is to equalize altitude between different locations so obviously a higher altitude is worse assuming similar temp/humidity conditions.

 

You are not wrong.

 

Not exactly true...ask national level racers that run all over the country where they would rather run...Denver or (Florida, Georgia, miss, etc). The temp doesn’t have to be similar at all for the air density to still be much better in Florida than it is in Denver. It could be 30 degrees hotter in Florida and you would still have denser/better air than Denver. Take your car to Denver and you are going to make less boost due to air density and make a ton less power. It seems so obvious and proven I can’t even understand how anyone would argue this.

 

I dont think you understood my post. I was agreeing with you.

 

Well crap I’m just getting along with everyone today LOL.

 

Sorry to burst your bubble....we start arguing about street cars if you'd like??

 

Naw we aren’t that far off on that topic...lol.

turbo vs procharger has been beat to death...

how about cost $ per hp big inch Na vs boost? That’ll start a fight lol

 

Boost is boring . Change my mind.

 

...and here we go lol

 

383 LS1 can be nothing to sneeze at, but I think its just a lot of folks really prefer what the larger 4.0-4.060+ bores are capable of. That small 3.9 bore is a choker in comparison. Its too bad the LS1 can't be bored .040" or .060" over.

 

Here we go baby!

I'll bite on that one all day. The only ones saying boost is boring are either A) The ones who've never done a boost build, or B) The ones who failed at doing a boost build or didn't finish it.
I do agree though, having a better behaving street mannered car that makes more power, WAY more torque, and typically ends up cheaper in the long run can be boring

 

about Boost vs NA?
Talk cam specs and have a real show

What's the best 3/4 race cam for my LS swapped Buggati Veyron Super Sport?

 

Btr stage 3.4

 

Sorry to pipe on but it's not about own power. Under the curve with a 383 is more fun and faster, without question.

The 6.0 is popular because it's done. Check the junk yard block and go from there if all is well.

It makes more power EVERYWHERE vs a 346 with like components. It also eats a larger cam and make sit easier to drive. Lots of reasons to go for a 383 over a 346 but the 346 is no slouch.

 

All cams are boost cams though

 

could you imagine the hate someone would get from LS swapping a Bugatti?! It would be epic.

 

It would make it more reliable...
