Does anyone know where to get a good 383 stroker kit, or has anyone used the Trickflow top end kit?

 

I would recommend contacting some site sponsors, like Corey @ Clayton Racing.

 

do they do a good job at setting up the Lt1 engines cause i know the trickflow top end kit includes heads, cam, and rocker amrs. It bings the horsepower from 285 to 430 Hp

 

It sounds like you have a LOT to learn.

What exactly is it you are trying to do? What kind of budget do you have?

 

I know i do i have not had the car that long, and am trying to get help from those who have done this stuff, but there is not much of a budget. I just want to get the car over 450hp so i can tear the ricers in my area a new one

 

Any current mods? Give us something to go on. You want 450HP. Is that at the wheels or flywheel?

 

Your gonna make some random machine shop very happy in your near future.
I suggest you do lots of research before you go spendin any money.
Not bein a Dick just tryin to help a fellow LT1 er out.

I would suggest finding out the most reputable machine shop in your area to build the bottom end of your stroker. Then contact Lloyd Elliot and tell him what your goals with the car are.
I have the TEA heads that have been worked a little 230cc with a custom cam and mild compression 11:0:1 car makes around 440 rwhp.

 

The only thing that is done to it is a cold air intake and flowmaster exhaust i know thats nothing but literally thats it. I would like to get 450 to the rear wheels.....like i said i just got the car a couiple months ago and am still learning the ins and outs but a very stock Z

 

I have a real good machine shop in the area i plan to deal with if i make it a 383 but i am researching and thats why i am up here trying to talk to people that have done this before

 

Well just to give you an idea my heads only, cost a lil north of 3 grande to buy the heads and have them worked. These are the best heads Trickflow has to offer.

YOU DO NOT need trickflow heads to accomplish your goals. Your stock heads can be taken off and ported with a custom spec cam and healthy compression. There are several sponsors on here that have proven this.
I would either go trickflows or AFR's or send your heads to Lloyd and let him spec you a cam.


Lemme ask you this have you ridden in a car with 450 ish to the tire.
I guarantee you 400 ish to the tire would be enough to spank all the rice in your area

 

Dude, get real...





...he shouldn't have any problem spanking rice stock.

 

+1 on that!

 

Hey man those 2 foot spoilers they put on those things I heard add lots of power.
Add some stickers and a fart can you got your hands full

 

450FWhp would be with headers, no airfilter, no exhaust system, no accessories, the stock engine would probably put down over 360 tested the same way.


If you cold air system and exhaust are off the shelf neither will support 450rwhp. 450rwhp is an achievable goal but a fairly aggressive one that will take knowledge to hit and the ability to sort out the majority BAD info on the forums from the little bit of good.
I agree with BADMOON too, you need to sale back your goal, you get over 400rwhp and make it hook at the track and you are looking at a rollbar, could even be looking at needing one with less power if the chassis really works.

Oh and no off the shelf head and cam is going to hit that goal, you need professional porting.

 

Maybe the rice is fast out in his neck of the woods

 

The rice in my city dominates the street scene. 9 second honda and 10 second dsm,s are everywhere. And I'm not joking.

 

They may dominate but they spend twice as much to get there.

 

Keep the races short and you will walk them.

All the fast small engine stuff around here dogs the first third of the track and might be flying by the 1/8 but still playing catchup.

 

Same around here, most won't race me unless it's from a roll.

Building a motor takes some thought and a plan, don't just goto the bottom of the page of the catalog and start buying parts.

 

We have a couple ricers that are very quick and they dominate the car shows on the weekends...... and most of the mustangs have been hooked up like crazy and i wanna be able to keep up easily.........the trickflow kit i am looking at is Trick Flow® 430 HP GenX™ Top-End Engine Kits for GM LT1 and i wanna know if it is any good and what else possibly has to be changed
