383 rebuild - kinda whimpy on the dyno?

I really appreciate everyone’s knowledge and constructive input. Lots of good reading and information here.

I was thinking at the time that the revs could have gone higher, and that I would have liked to experiment more with the jets that I brought to the session... but then my instinct of “hey, you’re the expert here” took over and I let him run the show. If there is a next time, I won’t be so passive.

I think the plan is just to get it back in the car, get it running, then work on some of these tweaks.

As far as a/f ratio... I’d definitely like to play with the jetting. Here is a pic of a plug...

That seems pretty lean.
