69 383 Performance

Not the greatest intake, too small of a carb. In my experience a holley will always outperform an eddy carb all day long.

What height tire are you running? A 3:73 or a 3:91 is pretty livable on the street. 4:10's+....not so much. Unless you have an OD.

What cam is in it? What heads are on it?

I hate to tell you this but literally every 383 car I've ever been in was a dog. I know there are guys that have had screamers or had a buddy that had a buddy that...

Putting headers on it isn't a bad thing. Getting it on a chassis dyno will get you tuned properly. I wouldn't spend a second thinking about whatever number it spits out. I've seen 70+HP variations in chassis dyno numbers. No variation in AF ratio's and timing.



IMO I'd get the 3:91 gears, get a 750HP series holley or knockoff like quickfuel etc. Have it tuned. See where you're at. You can live with that intake. The headers are fine.


Tire size is 245/60/15-
After more thinking you are right about the 4.10 begin too high. I had 4.11 in my corvette and it was at high rpm all the time. so I just got pricing on a 742 case with 3.91 gears, and sure grip posi.

I have heard that Eddys are better than holleys because of Holleys gaskets, but I am sure that is personal preference. I will get my gears installed and a new carb and see how she runs from there. Was thinking about possibly a new cam over the winter but we will see.
