Any 383 Chevy that has tried has got their *** handed to them. Even with a Paxton Super Charger and EFI............ Lamo
 
So old school guy...... What did you come up with on the jetting of that carb? Maybe you can be the teacher now? What were the results of what you did. Guys are dying to know.

sorry to hear that the internet tough guys decided to pick on you ...thats sad when that happens.

i get that a lot on the internet and in person ....for me its a constant "you cant work on cars .....your a GIRL!!"

but like you, i know what i can do and what i want to do on a car ...i had a mentor and went to auto school and i am what i am.

you look like a guy that no one would mess with in person ...and you can see in my avatar why they still pick on me even in person.......but thats why all have our own drums to march to.

your cars look great :thumleft:
 
That is what happens when you don't listen to the advise you asked for from guys that know their stuff and know their stuff big time!
 
Oooooohhhh! A Chevelle thread! Big block 496 4 speed 4.56 gears. :cheers:

COOL 550hp with $99 1 5/8 headers:wack:
 
On your duster build did you happen to upgrade the stock fuel line. Stock line is 5/16 in most cases. If not your issue could be running out of fuel at the end of the run.

Need to ask, what is so different about seeing a Mopar with a 340/360/383/400/440 in it? Seen one small block Dart pretty much seen them all. 4" crank/rhs edelbrock heads/tti headers etc.......pretty much all the same.......
