Daily power
Does anybody here have a daily driven ( and i mean everyday car) Tpi 383? Or maybe a 350-400 Hp 350?
I've been wanting to go 383 for a long time but recently i've been concerned that the fuel milage and driveability might not be good for an everyday vehicle. Im not concerned about a rough/powerfull hard to controll ride, thats the fun part, but im worried about everyday cost. thanks

If you want power, you must pay more. No way around it. More power=more gas=more money!

Everything is possible. To get what you want put a supercharger or turbo on it. Intercooled is best. Otherwise get the most efficient heads you can afford. You can get better gas mileage while getting lower emissions while getting more power, if you are smart about it.

Super/turbo wont work with the amount of milage THIS engine has on it.
And the next one will be strictly naturally asperated
I gotta squeeeeeeeze the power out of this next one.
