Check ou GKulls engine, it makes a bunch of power. You'd have to ask him for actual numbers though. http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/gkull/

I don't have a stroker engine but A LOT of people on this forum are running them. The 383s but out "big block like" numbers, without the extra weight. Most of the stroker engines on here are putting out between 400-500 horsepower....how can you not like that :)?

I'm sure someone with a 383 will chime in soon.

Just remerber that all it takes is money!! Mine is a 383
dart 2 heads
crane full roller cam train
fluid amper
manley ss valves
manley pistons for 350 rods
plasma moly rings
full stud kit for the crank and heads
92 corvette tpi top end
and about 95 trips back and fourth to the auto parts shop.
Now if I did it over I would really go with aluminun head, theres some great deals now on them. Beside I about killed my die grinder porting and polishing the cast iron versions, I mean it took forever to get them just right and cc'ed the same. Good Luck
