383 TPI Road Race Build

I just thought I’d post this for fun.
I did a multiport EFI’d 455 Olds for this guy years ago. He also races a 1990 Vette in an endurance racing series.
He blew up the stock engine and asked if I’d be interested in doing this for him. Of course I said yes! I think he’ll have to relearn how to drive this car!
383 Molnar stroker kit
10.0:1
Terninator X ECU
Aftermarket Aluminum heads
Small hyd roller
Stock base and runners.

You can tell how much that base and long small runners limit horsepower but look at the torque numbers. Why GM didn't just put these in their trucks is beyond stupid. They had that underpowered actually overated for HP swirlport 350 TBI up against the SEFI 351 and Dodge Magnum SEFI 5.2 and 5.9 which basically the same style intake setup. With a peanut cam for torque, it would have lead the pack. Great build by the way.
