Thanks Jack

Thanks Jack.

No this is not going to be a race engine...just for street. I have a Centrifugal supercharger by Vortech. Its an older design. Its meant for the old GM TBI injection system but I have since decided that if I want to use it...I should just put it on the 383 I want to build and just avoid the TBI if possible. Some of these Natural Aspirated TBI 383's are equipped with Vortec heads and they are getting 275-330hp at the wheels with 400+ ft/lbs.

I would not be using pure stock parts but it won't be the cutting edge either. I was considering World/Dart Cast heads at best and a 4 barrel intake of some sort with a blow-thru TBI and probably a Multi Port FI system like the MPFI from Affordable Fuel Injection. This isn't going to be bleeding edge but I was just shooting for 400hp at the flywheel but 500 ft/lbs of TQ. Its for a 1993 Caprice...so it has to have the TQ to get it up and moving quickley. Some guys have said that a heavily modified GM TBI system could Actually work but I haven't bee able to find to many people interested in helping me determine the right combination of parts. I think its possble too but because I am not as good with this stuff...I am not sure what to do.
