Nice. Ok spill the beans.. Whats the spec?

382?
What parts? Forged crank or cast? Heads, Pistons, Cam, Intake, TB, Compression etc?
NA or FI?

Did WRC build it?

its 383ci(6.3l) stroker crank,steel rods,forged pistons,comp cams cam,cnc flowed heads,arp bolts,mapable injection,light flywheel,centre force clutch,1.75" long tube headers,no maf,3 angle valves,strong push rods,ported throttle body,n/a .I was going to force feed the std motor but you cant beat the way a good n/a motor drives,it is a road car so the way it drive is more important than out right power or 1/4 times.i built it myself and once its been run in i will pop to WRC to see what its doing anybody had a 383 on the dyno ?

With a good cam Id say 350rwkw or 470rwhp.
Sounds very nice.
Whats the cam specs?

When you say "mappable injection"...are you using the factory computer, or an aftermarket item ?

Spec certainly sounds good.

Must admit, I opted for the 382 as opposed to 383, as I wouldnt trust anyone here to bore the block correctly.
I wouldnt imagine deck-plates etc are common place for LS1's in the UK.

it is actually a 382 kit, they call it '383 kit' but it only stroked.i run a emerald m3d ecu which can cope with most mods.

Yip, 382 re-uses stock bore size. 383 goes +0.005"

Good luck with it....

Mine will go eventually too.
