Thread: 383 air flow ????

Wow, looks even better now Tech!!!!! When I get the short block in hand, I'll have to do some really close checking to make sure we can match the Dyno Sim specs on SCR and DCR.... Got some questions on the heads, but I'll save them till i do a bit more studying... Definitely the AFR's, but there's some options to consider when I order them!!!!!

Talked to Andy (chassis dyno and E-85 carb guru on the drag stuff) and his only concern was making sure the intake manifold would be compatible with the heads. I run a Team G with a turtle and some match porting (to the AFR's) on the Mustang. On the 408 Windsor with a 2" Phenolic spacer it makes good numbers....Surprisingly when we first put the 'horse together and dyno'd it at Andy's, we lost a bit of top end HP but more then made up the differences with mid (3,000 to 7,000 revs) rpm torque gains.... Wondering if the same pattern would show itself on a 383 chebbie????? Team G has always been a good intake for the Windsor's, what do the chebbie strokers like best?????

Any opinions on why the E-85 vs. gas shows as more hp gain then torque gain???? Maybe tip the can about 5% to get a bit more significant gain, huh?????
