The 383 is a tough combination to beat when looking at power per dollar. With the right heads and valve train they can produce some very respectable numbers.... You didn't say if you have them or not, but with the added power a stroker engine makes it would also be good to tie the unibody together with some frame ties and maybe a 6 point roll bar. No reason to have a bunch of horsepressure if you can't hook it up...Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
