    383 Performance Specs- How do these sound?
    « on: September 20, 2005 - 03:55:03 PM »
    OK, if you remember I had asked Chryco what I should do to up the performance of my stock 383 in my 1969 Dodge Charger.  The car has a 727 with a shift kit and 3.91 gears.  It already has headers and will be getting new main bearings, oil pump, timing chain and possibly ported and poliched heads.

    Now for the specs,

    Item   Brand   Product #                  RPM Range       Specs                                              Supplier   Price (CDN)   Price (US)
    Cam   Engle   K-58HYD                 2000-5800       276/276, .347/.347, 230/230, 110      Engle Cams    $182.11     $155.00
    Intake   Holley        Street Dominator      Idle-6500                                                Summit Racing    $213.75     $181.95
    Carb   Edelbrock   1407                                            750 Cfm, Manual Choke, Square-Flange  Canadian Tire    $368.96    
    Torque Converter   B&M Racing   10415      2300-2500                                                 Canadian Tire    $419.93    
    Total                                                                                  $1,184.75    


    What do you guys think?

    I'm not sure if the Street Dominator manifold is the best out there today.  Perhaps it is worth looking at the MP or Edelbrock manifolds. 

    PS Why do you shop at Canadian Tire?

    Look in the "ebay deals" sub folder, i posted a link to a M1 single plane thats got 2 days left and is only at 100$ bucks .  If you want the M1 that is.

    Why, because it is one of the few places you can actually buy parts locally where I live.

    you should be able to get a better price on the converter , that price is too high
     The Street Dom is the best intake to use & relatively cheap also
     not a fan of the Eddys carbs if you are going to get an Eddy at least get 1 of the Thunder series that is adjustable

     I'd go for a Holley 750 Double pumper myself. I had a Street Dominator on my old 383 and it worked great!!!
