You had better beef the rest of the drive train. You will spit the stock rear out if you run any kind of tire. Slicks will require some major money in the rear.

Dont know what you will be running in the quarter but you will certainly be running some red lights unless you get some stoppie for that beast.

Re: 383 for a 69' (1969stingray1969)
are you buying a crate engine or are you building it or having someone build it. If your building it you could spray more than that though :steering:
http://corvette.ficker.net/engine_spec.php
What's not there is the comp ratio (10:1), and the pistons are probe forged... External balance, yada, yada... I'll probably step up to a 73 nitrous and 82 Fuel (150+HP) setup at some point, but I don't have a fancy ignition that will let me retard the timing, so I'll have to tune it for power when I'm planning on making it, then change it back... A bit annoying. Enough excuses? One more... This is also my first time ever playing with a "performance" engine setup, so I'm relatively new and don't want to make any stupid mistakes.

Re: 383 for a 69' (dath)
Well, I'll be the first to tell you it's not as easy throwing a hot motor in a stock car and run"10"s". It takes a lot more than Horsepower to run low numbers at the strip. I'd imagine a 1,000hp boosted small-block is capable, but longevity comes into play as well. Getting a small block 383 to reliable 1,000hp under $10K may be tight, you would need quality parts not counting a deadicated fuel system.
You would need:
suspesnsion upgrade
Rear End
gears
tranny
halfshafts
drive shafts
radiator
slicks
If you can get the 1,000hp and it holds you will need to install at least a 6pt. cage in the car to run 10's more than once (NHRA rules)
Best of luck
:cheers:

EDIT: Oh yeah, if you hit 1000HP, I think you'll be leaving 10s long behind if you can hook up and don't break parts. With that kind of power, you will find the weak links :D

:iagree: I'll be running a 525hp 383 with probably a 100 or 150 nitrous shot. To handle this power I'll be going to a complete Tom's Diff's rearend setup ($5k+), a ROD 6 speed ($3k) and complete Be Cool cooling system ($1k). So those parts alone not including the motor or nitrous will run me almost $10k. You always have to remember the old saying, "speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?" :D
