Re: My Procharged 383 Swap

If you keep breaking the ring and pinion and not the T5, I can't help but think that something in the rear end isn't set up right.

I had it rebuilt with a new set of gears and they said I blew my LSD.

Re: My Procharged 383 Swap

Awesome build! I'm putting together a very close combo for my Iroc. What size injectors did you go with and do you think they are sized correctly? Was it driveable with the stock ecu and have you got any mpg figures yet?

old headers were 1 5/8'' shorty's and new ones are 1 3/4'' long tubes, and right now running open headers. and thanks man, not bad for street tires. i need to get some slicks on there, but then i think ill start breaking alot of stuff lol...

Re: My Procharged 383 Swap

What rear do you have in there I forgot through the posts lol and well I want to pull the trigger on a 383 build. I was thinking about a LSX build. But I have AFR 195s and a HSR already. Both good pieces that will suit a 383. And a turbo on top of that. Just trying to figure what comp I should go lol

i have a 91 camaro 3.23 rear ten bolt :/ ....


ya that combo would be really good, talk to orr89rocz bout the whole turbo thing. and he may say do a LSX build, but if u already have heads and intake... i know he used to have a hsr.. im always buggin him for advise lol but keep me updated about what u decide and stuff.


hopefully in a few years when i get on my feet i can start working on my car again, put a F1 or F2 on, blow the 383 and build a 400+ ci motor, shoot for 1k hp .... someday.....

Re: My Procharged 383 Swap

Maybe you dont want traction then lol and ya I got some advice from him too, he didnt say to do an LSX but he didnt not to do one either he just gave me cam advice lol and ya you and me both man need to get on my feet also for a "big" build lol I know its easier to go lsx to get power but at the same time the cost to swap is the same as a whole rotating assembly with a new block and everything lol but I want to shoot for 375whp N/A and 550whp on mild boost levels lol
