im researching 383 rotating assemblys and was wondering what a good head and cam package would be. my goal is 450+ at the wheels na. is anyone out there running a setup with those numbers who could clue me in? could i port and polish my stock heads enough to save a little cash? or would a set up like lloyd elliots le3 package get me to my goal? any help would be appriciated.

my car is a 96 ws6 6-speed, and headers

thanks in advance,
dave

 

Advanced Induction and LLoyd Elliot will be two answers you will get a lot of and they should be able to help with stock heads.

 

Advanced Induction is the **** when it comes to porting heads. They do the best work. Give Ron a call and he will talk you through what you need to achieve your goals. My heads and intake are with them right now.

Each company has pros and cons, a buddie of mine just sent his heads off to AI he is really excited to get em back.

 

i should get mine back from A I this week.
Ron is a cool person to work with

 

its going to have to be a damn near perfect setup to get 450 at the wheels. I talked to both AI and LE and they both told me it would take a lot of work. THe right fuel setup, perfect valve lash and a good tuner. This is definitely not something you want to do yourself if you want to get close to 450

 

Ditto. Im looking for around 400 for my setup. Just spray a little n20 man.

 

LE is the man when it comes to making heads...

 

do you guys think the 383 set up is worth it? i mean if im going to rebuild it i might as well go big, but if im not looking to rebuild is it worth the $$$??

 

If your going to rebuild it and set it up as an NA motor, i dont see any reason why not to go with a 383. Just a different crankshaft. Its not going to cost you a whole lot more and will give you a good gain over a NA 355.
