Exactly what I'm going for. I can add a small cam a good intake to a 454 and flat kill my stroker in every catagory except fuel mileage unless thr Pro Ram gets added in the mix. Of course on a recent 62 mile round trip the 383 neted 19 MPG at 3000 RPM, 78 MPH. Even with the micro bursts well over 100 mph. Of course the Q-jet help alot with that.
