383 builds for drag car

Thanks for all the input. The stage 6 heads I have are not the old castings that had many issues but they are not Chapman heads. I will check out the links listed above and I wasn’t aware of the MP tip’s section so I will check that out.

The last 383 I built was 30 over with the old TRW domed pistons, stock rods, forged crank all balanced. MP .528 mechanical cam, roller rockers. The heads were a set of ported 452’s milled down to about 84cc’s. TM6 intake with a 750 double pumper. It ran 11:90’s in an old 63 Plymouth that I think was around 3600 pounds? 4.11 gears and 28x 10.5 slicks. 727 trans with manual VB and 3000 converter. I drove it quite a bit on the street and only had it at the strip 3 times.

I was thinking about replicating that build with a bigger roller cam, the stage 6 heads and better intake. How much RPM can the stock rods take?
The MP tips section is located in their big block engines book.
Stock rods can take a lot since they’re 4340 forged. It’s not the rpm that kills rods it’s poor timing or excessive pressure from detonation, turbo boost, things of this nature.

It would be best to get aftermarket rods because rebalancing and sizing rods is about as much never mind grinding on the rod to smooth it out and make it lighter along getting rid of stress risers (AKA Prone crack areas under extreme stress) & then getting HD rods bolts.
