Just how big can I go?
Just how big can I go?
I am looking at a 383 running a bigger cam. I don't have the final specs right now but around a .490 lift and 10.1 compression. Now I know that the Pro-jection system can handle this but can a GM set up do this. By GM I mean will a 454 TB with GM injectors and a custom prom push this motor? I am working with a local engine builder and he was wondering what the limits of GM TBI's are. If you guys need more detailed specs let me know. Thanks!

The Stock GM 454 TBI unit is about 640 cfm. Run the numbers and see what you come up with. You can do a little porting and poliishing on them and up that number the about 650. You would definately need bigger injectors and a custom prom. I think .490 is really mild for a 383. With a cam that small in a 383 I think a GM tbi will handle it just fine. but that just my opinion.
