Ok Im not sure if I posted this in the right forum but whatever. Just wanted to see what you guys think about this motor i might be getting here are the specs

block:383
crank-eagle nodule-iron
rods-eagled forged 5140-i beam
pistons-keith black hyperEutectic
rings-speed pro plasma-moly
Lifters-comp cams hydraulic
push rods-comp cams
rockers-comp cams magnum roller tip
Heads-Edelbrock performer rpm (aluminum), combustion chamber 70cc, intake runner 170cc. Intake valves 2.02", exhaust valves 1.60"
compression 10.0:1
cam- comp cams duration:Intake 222° @ .050" Exhaust 226@ .050. lift Intake 0.464" Exhaust 0.464". lobe seperation 114*

Ok now this motor is going to be supercharged and possibly have spray. What do you guys think and do you think it will hold up to the s/c and nos? Any additional info on changing things or mods appreciated

 

Well, i don't really know , but don't you think that the C/Ratio is a little high for a S/C. Of course if this is a strip only motor and you use 110 oct. no problem I think. 10 to 1 would be ok for the spray only.

WEll its going to be a street/strip car. Im only going to be driving it to the track, to school on nice days and crusing on the weekends. Its mostly going to be running on 94 octane and when im at the track is gonna be on 110. So do you think i should change the cam and the ratio?

 

yeah i agree with the super charger/ comp. ratio. this combo will probably hold it but it depends on how big the shot of nos is.

 

No I don't. I think that is a good combo for both street and strip. The only thing that conserns me is the 94 oct. on the street. Does your ign. system have a knock sensor? You will want to avoid deto at all cost with those hyperutechtic pistons. If that were my setup I would use forged pistons.

Bigger heads. 170cc are small.
Why 2 power adders?
why skimp out on pistons? Build the motor right the first time. Buy better (forged) pistons. Look into ROSS or JE.

 

Im going to be doing an adjustable nos shot of 50-150 so probably somewhere in the 125 range ill be takeing the show. I want to power adders cause i just want this thing going fast as hell. the nos probably is going to be down the line, depends on how much money i have left after all this stuff. Ill probably get diffrent pistons and I was thinking highly about diffrent heads as well. As for the knock sensor, im not sure. I plan on putting an MSD ignition is so.... The main reason for most of the stuff is because the engine is already built by a company so i gotta talk to them and see if i can change things on the motor. Do you think they'll be cool about it?

 

They will do anything for money:lala:

Yea thats what im thinking. They have 2 383s built one just says 383 stroker motor and the other says 383 tpi stroker and the tpi one is 1000 more, why does it say tpi when it doesnt even have an intake on it? Im hoping that they wont be a**holes and they'll do it for somewhat cheap, if not i guess i gotta get the engine sent here and rip apart everthing and do it myself than sell everything that i replaced

 

Sounds like a plan.

Ok well I just sent an email to the company and lets see what they say. If anyone else has some more opinions just drop em down and tell me what you think

 

Ok the engine place emailed me back and said they would do a custom tpi for me. im thinking about keeping the basis of the specs listed above, what do you guys think i should chage and what should i hange it to
