We run 383ci Small Blocks in the Saber. I think the Bravo/ Sm. Block combo works well its lighter and makes the Saber very nimble in the corners. Yes we now run Race fuel but these are basically old school "modified dirt race car" motors. We really don't seem to have a problem in the acceleration department....

BTW, I know there are some projects out there that are useing the LS7's.. Those are going to be very cool!!!

I think if we can find a set of bravos to replace our TRS setup it would make a world of diffrence.

Work on your carbs, when i first ran the small blocks in my piece it was a slug, after a few changes i was passing 35 cigarettes in the ocean like they where tied to the beach and they are snappy little pieces. Balance in the sutphen is key i dont want BB too much weight!

Hi Bob,
i think i am retiring the sutphen from racing duty...will only be running pleasure.

If we do come back out to play it may be with a 32 or 38 Bad Boy...
