These tunnel ram threads remind me of the political threads, lol!
I appreciate the input, good or bad, so thank you everyone.
Compression: if I need more- what is everyone using to make this determination?
Will using the pistons it has, (from what I am told '9:1'), and the 915 heads, (not using the 452s), solve this issue?
If not, how can I raise it?
Cam: if I raise the compression, should I get a cam with a larger duration number?
The carbs were cheap, so if they are too much it won't be the end of the world to swap them out for smaller ones.
I could just put together what I have and see what happens.
As long as I can drive this thing and run pump gas, I can make adjustments like others have when attempting this ridiculousness, lol!
The experiment continues...
One thing that is in your favor is it being a 383 (low deck), they rev faster then a longer stroke, this will help, The compression isn't horribly low, You could mill the heads around .030", this should put you closer to 9.5.1, make sure either way you use the .019" steel shim gaskets, The W. Streetram is the best street intake you'll find for the BB, so your good there, the 600s will work decent, 1/2 throttle it should be a monster.
