I spun my stock bottom end/TEA heads, 230/236 on a dyno to 6600, made max power at 6300, and then a rod bearing went bye bye. Then I proceded to drive the car home about 90 miles, in stop and go traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike, in the middle of summer no less with the A/C on at times, and made it home. LOL, man, rod bearings 5 and 6 were HAMMERED when I took it apart. Anyhow, I run AFR 210's with a welded/epoxied/ported LT4 intake, AS&M 58 TB. I think the 210's are the way to go on a 383 or 396. If you can top it off with a Super Vic intake converted to EFI, then you will really be in good shape

BTW guys this is on a 383!

So then spinning the motor to 6300 on my LE2 setup shouldn't be a problem? The motor should be making to about that, maybe a little more, I would hate to see that go to waste, thats why I ask. I don't want to splay the b!tch because of how much money it costs. Just making sure that the studded main caps will be able to hold about 400rwhp/380rwtq spinning to about 6300.

Anyone drive this setup around town? Looking for some more feedback on this setup from LE.

I've sun 430rwhp 383s with 2 bolt mains to 7000rpm so it can be done.

Any have any sound clips with a setup like this? Or idea of how loud this setup would be with true duals and dumps...?

Looking for a good sounding exhaust now to go with this setup. I'm not sure how much louder it is now compared to the 350 cam only setup.
