Since the dyno numbers for my 383 build were announced, I've had a few people pm me wondering where all the horsepower had gone. I myself am quite happy with the results and found a couple of magazine articles that might help explain it.The first one is a '72 Vette with a 383 from Super Chevy mag. The engine looks to be using the identical heads to mine with a slightly hotter cam. It made 285 rwhp and 335 rwtq. They later change the heads to AFR's and install a roller cam.383 Stroker Upgrades - Project Homewrecker - Super Chevy MagazineThe second is from Car Craft mag where they do some engine dyno vs chassis dyno comparisons on 2 vehicles. Helps explain things I think. No doubt I'm loosing quite a bit through the TH400 with a non-locking converter.Drivetrain Power Loss - Car Craft MagazineAs I said earlier, I'm very happy with the results and they are pretty much what I expected.
