It's just begging for more rpm, it revs really fast and im hitting the rev limiter pretty fast. In the video you can't hear me because of the annoying whine of the mustang lol but I bounced off the limiter in both gears.

400rwhp on a 383 LT1 sounds about right with a system based setup

People have a tendancy to look at the cars that run very strong and glaze over the masses of cars that just make ok power with a given setup.
I have a buddy who makes 410rwhp NA through a built 4l60e, ford 9, and a very mild LE2 H/C/I LT1 383

I think Tom (MasterTomos) is just in love with Joe's 95 TA. Advanced Induction mild 383 with H/C/I A4 good for 455rwhp and high 10's ET's NA

Not to sound like a dick, but I tend to look at cars that are set up properly because thats how I plan on setting up my car. I'm not interested in people with amateur home ported heads, air foils, and mismatched cam/valvetrain.

For what it's worth, Elliot Portworks advertises that the LE2 package is capable of 410+rwhp with their 232/240 cam. Thats assuming around stock redline/stock bottom end.

I know this will obviously vary some, and advertisements should be taken with a grain of salt, but I was just making the point that it's more doable than most people will give credit to.

Somewhere between 350-450rwhp? jk. Shot in the dark, 410ish? Always tricky with stalled auto cars with aftermarket rears.

Ford 9" and auto (Im assuming stalled) will eat up a chunk of HP so that sounds right for about an average 383 with that setup. Also with a mild cam, some is obviously left on the table.

Lol I do like Joe's TA but that has nothing to do with this.


I was just in reference to the capabilities of a stock cube LT1's as a whole-not stalled/aftermarket rear end/stroker ones like OP's. A bit off topic I suppose, sorry. None the less, OP's car still appears to be a healthy running car.

Not being a dick at all, as you should look at the setups that work best when you are taking notes for your own build. That being said, you're also proving my point. Just because you choose to overlook all the cars not making stellar numbers doesn't mean they don't exist. I've seen plenty of 383/396 LT1's trapping 111-113 mph, which would get beat up by your average pullied Cobra. I'm not saying they were well thought out combinations, but there are plenty out there. I guess I'm just trying to say that it's impossible to bench race based on generic setups (i.e. "396" or "cam only" without more info).

I wasn't making the point based on the platform and was in no way trying to take away from what LT1's are capable of. You'll see me make the same argument with many different platforms and combinations.

i can unwrap a sandwich, take a bite, and change the radio station in the time it takes the cobra driver to find the next gear.
