There are really no problems with the super vic. But on a 383 with 10.5 comp. There are better intake choices, like the vic. junior. The smaller runners on the Jr. will keep velocity up and help build ground pounding torque. Bob west's car is a fine example of how touque moves a car. And the zex pla...

That looks awesome! But, I dont think it will fit my vette. The A-Arms and crossmember are at the very front of the motor.

I'm gonna try this tonight...

If it was me I would look at something with longer exhaust duration. And you said you wanted to spin it to 6800 rpm. Start with a .675int .650 exh lift with duration @.050 around 252 270 on the 114 lsa. Your blower motor will like the wide lsa and long exh duration. Remember your forcing air into th...

Ok, lets see some picture's of everybody's shop or garage.

Do not use a factory 4-bolt block. Use a 2 bolt block only! The factory 4 bolt blocks tend to crack at the main webs.

Yes, that is fairly common. Get some pistons and a good shop and your there. 377's like to rev! Definately a better intake on that motor. Go to the motown or bowtie on your 377!

On motor alone I would say 11.00-11.5, plus 300 shot of squeeze, mabye 9.75?

I would look at the victor manifolds from, edlbrock. The motown intake is very effecitve for small blocks, but may be a bit large for a 355 under 7500 rpm. The GMPP bowtie is a proven powerhouse on motors like yours.

I would deffinately start with more compression, and a better intake. The strip dom. was effective in it's day, but there are much better intakes out there now. There is power being left on the table with that holley manifold.

Thats cooking baby!!

No offense, but I've just never been a fan of the sbc edelbrock heads. The BIG runner heads for big block, mopar chevy and pontiac are proven winners. I could be wrong but I like the brodix stuff. Just my opinion.
