I changed to a counter rotation Alpha 1 and it made a huge difference. The on and off throttle twitch disapeared. Much more relaxing to drive. My next step is to build a set of stroker small blocks.

Re: Post your Oldschool ride!

Haven't seen a solid number. Depending on internal parts 400 to 425 is not unreasonable on pump gas.

Thumbs up Re: Post your Oldschool ride!

Tell me more! I want to replace my worn out 260s with a couple of 383s. Adding another 330 hp would be a rush. Any info would be appreciated.

Re: Props for twin 5.7

Now that's encouraging! I think I can get an extra 30 HP with a good exhaust and an intake change. If I can get to 4900 with the 23s I will be happy. (for now) Thanks Hustler
