There has got to be a lot more out of a 383. I would not be happy unless I hit 500 at the wheels. My mild heads cam package hit 450/430 at the wheels. I would think you should be AT LEAST be around my HP level. I would talk to your tuner.

The #s should be better. I will be going back for some final tweaking in a few weeks when the winter weather takes a hike.

glad you got it home Brad! I still haven't had a chance to listen to the video but I will. it will probably make me super jealous driving my crappy ls1
here's to hoping the weather turns for the better. I have to be in Calgary next week but it looks like I'll be driving the truck since the weather likely won't co-operate.
