What to do next? i have a 93 ta that i bought last year the car has heads, cam, 12 bolt ,and a bunch of suspension work done to it abt a month after purchasing it the tranny (which was a brand new jegs tranny) took a crap so i took it to a local tranny shop wher they rebuilt it to handle 650 rwhp so a mth ago i bought a scat forged stroked 383 that the owner nvr ran it has a very sml "hot cam" in it and ported stock heads my question is i wld like to be at 500+ to the rear wheels thinking i shld go 2 some afr 210 heads and matching cam also what other suggestions do u have as necessities to a project like this i was gonna replace my opti w a pro billet one and do the ewp at this x wondering abt fuel system car has 36 lbs now also do i need a new intake will a ported stock handle or am i looking at single plane, thank u in advance for ur time and knowledge. ps i tried 2 change my registered name dnt know how.
For 500 whel i would think ur gona need solid roller cam, single plan intake, and a good ported head. Mayb like ai or le ported trickflows. I dont see the 210s doin it out the box. Also if u stay with the opti setup. Id switch to a vented opti. So that u can run a double roller tiking chain.
Over 500 RWHP N/A is going to be a VERY hard number to hit even with the AFR's that's 575-600 HP. I assume you're building a race car with a big solid roller cam? For the money,and if you plan to drive it on the street ever, you should go power adder; either nitrous or blower/turbo and just but put in some dished blower pistons in the stroker motor and re-use the stock ported heads. Even on low boost (7-8lbs) would easily make over 550 RWHP on a built 383....or sell the LT1 and go LS

i guess what im looking for this the highest amnt of hp i can hit w a 383 and stay drivable on street not dd but it goes 2 ur local cruise nights and occasionally it will go down a track if bn looking for a used d1 or so procharger for it looked at turbo but havent cn any w a/c yet have 2 have a/c
If it's a DD then set your HP goals a little more reasonable (450 RWHP) and get a hydraulic roller cam....stock heads properly ported can support that (so will a stock ported intake) I wouldn't bother with the AFR heads unless you plan on getting them ported too..otherwise the gains are minimal over nicely ported stockers. Then start planning the nitrous.

yeah im sorry i misspoke abt dd my car sits in a garage abt 2 inches off of ground and its sees the light of day saturdays or sundays a street toy that can go 2 the track a cpl x a yr but mostly just toying ard its got an electric cutoff as well just wanted to build it the best way possible , within reason ive read the threads on here for a yr or so u guys r so knowledgable and helpful it is nice 2 have such a site. was just looking for some suggestions on rr, lifters , timinig chain, optis?, ported intake vs. single plane and fuel pump issues hot wirekits? addons ,regulators, how 2 switch to braided line instead of that ugly wire loom that exists? these r a few of my tedious ?s for u guys...... agn thanx 4 the time
Im no expert but i would do comp pro rockers with 7/16 studs, ls7 lifters, coyles 3145 double roller timing chain. Then swap to a vented ac delco opti. The stock intake should b good up to 450whel. Run a 58mm tb or mono blade
