PRAYs 416 was much more impressive than Jimbos
573 rwhp 530rwtq i think with a monster looking power curve...I rode in the car...it was a complete monster and he went 10.20s at 136 in positive DA with 342 gears with minimal seat time

Pit. We are talking about 383's not 416's. My 416 made 573/530rw but that is not apples to apples.

Well if I made 490/445 with a not so great cam and not so great heads then I can see the TFS heads could pick up the hp but not tq to make 514/487. Those are great numbers and very high for he normal 383 but not out of the question. I will have to check the specs. I think they are right but not the norm. Most I see are in the 460-480hp range and 430-450tq. But heads and cam profiles and what not are getting better by the minute. I put those 2.5 LS6's and 244/248 cam I had in the 383 on a 402 and it ended up making 521/495rw on the same dyno. So I think the cam and heads were the under performers. I just don't think 383's perform in the hp area like people think. That is due to bore size.

That's how mine was originaly. There are always motors that exceede expectations for one reason or another. I think people see great numbers from one motor with out knowing all the details and expect that from all motors in that size or type. It just simply is not the reality.

I still remember watching one of your vids where your car was getting loose at the end of third gear... half way down the track. It was a bad-boy !

stick- exedy twin disc, yes you can drive it coast to coast..car still gets 28 on the highway and 20 city.
93 pump gas (car has kooks catted 3x3 pipe)
first and only pass got a 10.77 @ 132- on the return road i picked up a header bolt from someone elses car and it punctured the rear bfg drag radial...talk about an expensive pass.....btw the 60 was a 1.67. even though the rear is built, I was afraid of breaking something and left at 3k. it was a 140 mile drive home and a tow bill would have been a mother f*ker, had something exploded in the *** end.

Cam seems a little small for those numbers but every thing else seems in line. I could see how it could happen. Your mph is good and with more seat time I am sure it would have gone up. That is a real nice combo.
Kurt. What did your 346 make? Didn't you have exactly the same combo?

Yeah,Prays 416 was a real monster.It's too bad that he never really had the opportunity to dialed in that bad boy in some negative DA conditions.
