383 block strength?

And nearly 100% of the time the 400's get stroked and putting out way more than the measly stock HP level. Usually 2x or more.

yeah, I think the general consensus from everyone here is pretty much up in the 600 HP range for a totally stock block, without a main girdle. I know for a fact some have gone further. For a 383, that's gettin into the 100% over stock power territory. For a stock block. To the OP, just keep reading that.
