Me too, it's def no 10 second car the way it sits now. I can feel it not pull as hard when it gets up to 4000 rpm. I have a feeling it needs more fuel. I'm going to order a wide band this winter.Originally Posted by Orr89RocZ
Sounds good i am eager to see how this setup runs once all tuned up my 383 felt like a turd for a while and it was dead lean. Richened it up it felt faster but really kinda seemed disappointing at first. Then first pass it went 11.67 when i thought it would go low 12's. I was amazed as it didnt feel like i thought it would. Speed has funny perceptions on the butt dyno

Thanks! A lot of time, effort, and money went into this build. All that's left now is to tune it. The sound alone makes it all worth it. It also has nice street manners. If it puts out the power it should I'll be a happy man.Originally Posted by Slash

You need a high flow lid, gutted lower airbox, larger MAF, and some tuning..
Need to let that motor BREATH!
Nice ride!
Just noticed we have the same sign on date.. we're getting old

Pretty good. I thought for sure I'd need a vacumm canister. But the brakes are fine. No different from when I had the h/c/i L98. With the vigilante stall it doesn't need a lot of gas to get going. I'm happy with its street manners. Originally Posted by LivinLarge

Thanks! I'll have a 58mm throttle body this spring. I don't know where to get a high flow lid or maf. I do have a gutted lower airbox and equipment to tune.

Yes we are. Those were the days. Racing everything that moved. Going to car meets, the street races, the track...etc. Now I'm 30. Engaged. And bought a house. It's a struggle to find time to work on the car. I can't complain to much, life's good. Just noticed we have the same sign on date.. we're getting old
