new build already needs new top end
i just got done building my first 383 stroker this last winter and i put it into my 91 camaro i didnt do my homework very well and i had high expectations for it. from what i have heard from talking to the locals is my top end is holding my engine down to about 400 hp but i had an even bigger problem than that. this engine pushed out alot more rpms than i ever expected to see. i couldnt tell you how many because it pegs my 8000 rpm tach. so about a month ago i had to pull the motor because i started spraying valvetrain parts all over. i collapsed a lifter and through another lifter into the intake valley i was thinking the springs were probably floating on me in the high rpms. so ive got the motor all stripped down again but im gonna stay with the lower end i have put together now. i had a pair of strikeforce heads with a crosswind intake with a 280/280 .480 .480 cam in it when all this was happening. ive been asking around and alot of people talk up the afr comp 210s. so i was looking to go with those and a solid roller cam belt/gear drive not sure which quite yet and a edelbrock victor jr intake shaft rockers the whole bit...but before i go buying everything again i figured i would do more homework this time and match the top end with the lower end so i push upwards to 600 hp out of this motor next time. the lower end is fully forged and 13:1 compression. so any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated thankyou in advance

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
