A Superram with a 350 cammed with something like a 224/224 hyd roller cam with mid .500 lift and a decent set of cylinder heads will make 400-425 HP at around 5400-5500 rpm and a lot of torque in the area of 450 ftlbs @ approxmiately 4000 rpm. Shift points are typically right in front of 6000 rpm. A 383 is more along the lines of 430-450 HP and very close to 500 ftlbs down around 4000 rpm. For a street car with a hyd roller cam, that is very stout performance, yet driveability is almost un-compromised. This is why I have always liked this intake. On the Dyno, it makes big torque but is fairly un-impressive in the HP category..... but it et's well on the strip. A well optimized SR 350 will et in the mid to high 11's, whereas the 383 in the low to mid 11's at C4 type racing weights of 3200-3400 lbs. It takes a quality converter and sticky tires to do that, but will do it with just about any gear you happen to have. On the BBK, I really do not know anything about it aside from a picture I saw a while ago that it in general looked like a Superram with rounded edges.... I think it has potential from the picture alone, but somebody needs to pony-up and give it a try I guess.... then we'll know. |
