Only had it to the track once so far and i was shifting at 6,200 and it felt like it was still pulling. I am running the stock springs that came with the Edelbrocks. The specs are close to what Lunati recommends. They told me i would be fine using those springs.
I have that cam in my 383, recommended by Lunati. .030 over, stock crank, rods, old trw flat tops, eddy heads, street dominator intake, 4.10's and at the time an old fairbanks 2,400 stall. Dart went 12.80's with a bad bog in the carb.
I would say you have more power in that combo. I have a 383, .030 over with trw flat tops, no valve reliefs around .020 in the hole. Using stock 516 heads with the small valves, holley street dominator intake, holley 750 double pumper and the mopar 284/484 cam installed straight up. With this...

Motor is a 383 and i had the oil pan off of the car. I did not build this motor but if i look up to the bottom of the pistons i can see the numbers 233-99. Does anyone have any info on these pistons? Really curious if they are cast or forged.
