Super, Turbo , nitrious, or N/A
I am going to be building up a 383 small block in my spare time
and am wondering what would be a sweet set up, I was thinking
on doing a N/a set up with a monster cam and just running the
thing through the roof, or a power adder motor, with a S/C or
turbo or maybe even nitrious (sp?) What would be a cool set up
that i can have fun with, its not a daily driven car and i want
some power, gas is not the biggest of problems but i dont want
to be paying out my *** for fuel. sooo what would you guys
recomend for a sweet street set up and a good track performer,
also what would be an easy thing to keep up with on keeping
everything is right order, an kits that i should look at? thanks

My vote is for a n/a motor and spray it with a NX Wet kit. That's exactly what I did with my 383 build-up!
My best n/a time in my sig, so far, and I will be using the nitrous for the first time this weekend.

I am doing homework for a 383 with a Procharger P-1sc on it. they are simpler to set up and dosn't make your engine compartment so hot and gives similar performance as a turbo. That and its going to be a blow thru carb set up so I dont need to have all the add expence of messing with EFI. It should make my Vette move pretty good.
