Will this set-up feed a 383 fairly well
I called up and cancelled my order for my Stealth ram today, my 350 blew and I need to save as much money as possible, and dont have time to do a swap that includes changing stuff around likethe stealth ram would, I am getting my 350 rebuilt to a 383 stroker. I have everything except the bigmouth listed below, and the big mouth is on the way. Will this feed a 383 to make fairly decent power, how high in the 300's or how low in the 400's do you think this set-up is good for.

Wouldnt a TPI setup that is pretty much totally modified to flow more air like mine (ported pleum, bigger runners, bigger manifold) flow almost as much or equally as much as the LT1 intake.
I'd atleast be around mid 12's too rite? or should be?

here is the way i understand it you wont get the tpi to flow like the lt1 its not so much how big your base and runners are but the length of the runners tpi jus doesnt do much over 5000 rpm i was a little none beliveing of this until i swapped to the lt1 with the tpi i rarely hit my rev limiter "6000" but now with the lt1 it took me a little while to get use to how fast 6000 comes now thier for a while i was always hitting the rev limiter it comes so quick now i had a completely upgraded tpi im very happy with the lt1 it gives you alot more potential for future mods if you think about it have you ever seen a after market lt1 intake? i havent there no need for it if im wrong im sure ill be corected jus my.02 worth later:lala: :hail:
