Killer 383 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gldevall · 03-04-2004, 10:22 PM

Went by the brother-in-laws shop today and there was about a 96 Sinlge cab step with a 383 in it. Dyno'ed at the wheels 421 hp and 410 ft lbs. Had some juice too, but it wasn't hooked up. God that thing was awesome. Sorry no pics either, did not have my camera.

Hmm..not TOO impressive, but probably a mild build-up...daily driver type deal...

STFU Tim! I would be glad if I had 250+

Russell · 03-05-2004, 03:08 AM

Man, I would be happy getting 170 hp to the rear wheel :P

Just buy my motor and you'll be set

421 Hp in a truck daily driver??? Not in mine, my 360Hp 350 in my stepper makes for really interesting rides at times. Have you driven a 421 Hp car yet??

I know your kidding. My 11:1, 230@.050, 388 is going to make a crank HP in the area of 440, which is a little BELOW what that guy has with 420hp at the wheels. Thats not mild.

phantom dually · 03-05-2004, 10:00 PM

I would say that is close to a 500hp engine at the flywheel. Sounds impressive to me. WTF?

The Dude · 03-05-2004, 10:52 PM

i have a friend in phx with a truck that sounds exactly like that. 90's singlecab step but his is white with an orange top. he said hes got a 500hp 383, but you would never know because the truck is dead silent! let me tell you that truck is fast!

Please, please, find out how it is dead silent. I am wanting dead silence on my truck. I figure if a 500 hp truck has some silent mufflers, I am needing what he has.

swervin, i will try to get in touch with him, but i havent talked to him since the last cruise down central (last fall) and i wont be up in phx until spring break,around the 14th, i think. but i will definately try to find out for you.

gldevall · 03-06-2004, 01:45 PM

It's still there so I may try and swing by today and get some pics. Got a new battery for the digi cam so I can take pics now.

If you calculate an average of 20% for drivetrain loss thats 505.2 at the flywheel. Considering it's a SWB truck that's just a little more than a"mild build-up...daily driver type deal...

I think he may have meant daily GASSER. LOL
