Default My 383 build

Hows it going

Did a 383 build on my 1985 L98 and needless to say its been an interesting one. Little over a year ago i had a thread going for getting my wiring down and putting all the sensors back. Needless to say I had to go on a deployment and the last few months of it I decided have the car taken to a hot rod shop. Finally got to go check it out the past week and it was pretty awesome to watch it start up. Other then the build from one shop for the engine and now the hot rod shop putting it back together. Im at the point of what to do next.

Still stock exhaust, hasn't hit a dyno, still stock TPI. What do i need to do in the next few months. Things to price out and get done for the long haul of the car. I did this more or less to take to car shows and weekend driving. Just went with a stoker instead of the same ol 350 cause I was doing the rebuild and said might as well give it a little more kick.

Help or guidance from you guys is greatly appreciated.
