Your engine will explode











































from not using search!!!

Sorry, that was an ******* thing to do, but there are about 2,000 threads on the T-Rex.

Anyway, the T-Rex on a 113+0 would be a nice choice for a 382. With the supporting mods, 500rwhp isn't a long shot. Good luck!

You making the 450 with the 232 cam on the 382? I

If so, then ya, the T-Rex will add about 20rwhp more, and if you don't have it, put the LSX90 intake manifold and Nick Williams 90mm throttle-body, run the QTP 1-7/8" HVM headers, and finally milled AFR 225s heads. That would net you probably 520rwhp or so on a good day.
