Educated guess anyone?
Educated guess anyone? I Would like to know appx. how much power this set up would make? I'm thinking about buying it, and wondered if anyone wanted to take a guess on what it should make.
94-Lt-1 383ci.
Eagle crank
SRP forged pistons 16cc dish
Eagle SIR rods
Port matched heads/intake
Crane Energiser roller rockers
Comp roller lifters
Ferrea valves 1.56/2.0
Trick flow hardened pushrods
Comp cam 224/230 .502/.510 113.0
The car is an A4 right now but I will be doing a t-56 swap And putting a 150 or 200 shot in it.
Thanks for your input.

Probably close to 400 at the wheels N/A. It all depends on the heads actually, and what they flow. If their is not extensive port work done then that will hurt your overall numbers. Also that cam is not that big for a 383. The cam should be bigger for max power and an increased RPM range....can you say GM 847, that's just something to think about. But invest in your heads and big power can be made!

what type of exhaust do you have, longtubes, shorties, mid lenghts, cats or no cats, mufflers? valves are standard size for heads cam cars, nice rotating assembly, but what compression are you going for? the 224/230 grind cam is way to small for a 383....its too small for a heads cam car if the owner is looking for pretty good gains. with full intake and full exhaust, with that cam and ported/plished heads, im guessing 375 RWHP is the upper limit
that cam is definitely too small, its little bigger than a LT4 Hotcam.. I make 366RWHP (aproximation) which is good enough for some high-mid 11s, so if its too small for my 355, its deff to small for a 383
You might want to think about going with a bigger cam. Like everyone said, that cam is too small. I would guess with proper tuning 400-410 RWHP with that setup. I would look at something bigger like the CC306 or the GM847.
This motor is already in the car. I agree the cam is too small, I just wondered what it would make the way it is.
I notice that everyone agrees with the GM847. I plan on swapping cams this winter.
The car has shorty's on it right now but within a week it will have LT's, True duels w/cutouts,haven't decided on what mufflers I want yet. No cats.
I will be going to buy this car this weekend if it is everything it's supposed to be.
Thanks
