I own both cars and my vr4 smokes most camaros if I build a 383 will it be enough to handle almost every import? I want to keep my stock block!

 

Maybe, maybe not. I know STi's with 400whp that will beat almost anything on the street. And the BMW 1 series twin turbos are tricky too. Don't forget about boosted s2000's running 9's. Or all the other third gens, some with 400's twin turbo, some 4xx supercharged, a lot of 350sbc 500hp n/a beasts. Then you have to start thinking about srt-4's with huge turbo's. Also, the cobalt ss' will be a challenge, and the new 2.0t genesis if it's built, dont even get started with a boosted v6 one. 03+ cobras might be tough too.

What do you plan on doing to the 383? Your vr4 would probably(assuming its not stock) be a challenge for a mild 383

 

Hmm I ran a VR4 from a low roll with my exhaust modded L98 and stayed ahead to about 80mph. He was slowwwly gaining back but just couldnt get around me.

No reason why you cant build a stock block 383 that should handle MOST cars. Simple heads/cam setup with intake swap is a 11 second car and a nitrous shot will go high 10's/mid 10's depending. That will take on most cars you see today.

 

vr4's can come out hard but it's not like they trap some carzy high speed.

 

stock I agree but modified with block work and bigger turbos it gives almost anything a run for their money

 

thats what i want to do and thats why im also selling my twin turbo the timing belt is just a hassle

 

With factory cars now in the 11's with simple bolt ons and some just with tires, you need to go 10's to have a fast street car. Then again the number of 8 and 9 second cars these days keeps increasing so it just never ends. Someone is always faster than you.

 

that holds true for any car.
