360-383 A-debate...max builds need not apply.

Cammed 383 with manifolds 310/360ft-,lbs on nicks garage. I feel his dyno numbers are usually pretty unbiased. He said it was a mild purple cam with 11 inches at idle. Doesn't sound too mild to me with that vacuum level. Richard Holdener dyno guy does a 360 with a 252 RV cam. Bowl blended 340 heads and headers and gets 329/414 ft-lbs. Cheated on the heads......hard to find a stock 383 dyno graph as every one has something added to it. This 360 dyno run was nice as he took a Tradesman van 360 and found 155 hp at the wheels. Then built it up gradually with runs in between. Remember ultimate HP is not the end game here, its combo of price, HP, ET and I guess fitment wirh headers. Will pass on handling as that is unmeasurable with data.
