Very nice '68 build and I enjoyed the video a lot!  I've had my engine on a dyno after the rebuild but not the whole car on a chassis dyno. Someday, if the timing is right for it I will do it.  Again, congrats !  :2thumbs:

Why don't you just do it infront of a cop car?They will film it for you and all you gotta do is to ask for the video!Simple as that!!!

Its 30 bucks because it was a 'show day' here in Phoenix Mopars unlimited of AZ ran it at the university technicianl instituate.  You get 2 pulls, but actually the guy gave 3 pulls my best pull was my first number the next 2 were were down 10hp due to heat soak..it was 88 degrees so decent temp. 

This guy had a better camera going with a HD camera and a some sound boom mic going on:

383's can definitely be made to run hard especially with a four speed and decend gears so the can rev fast. Great engines.

Most thought it was a 440 running and when they saw the power output to the wheels they said, 'yup thats a 440' then I parked it and let it cool down with hood open and they came by to ask what I had and I said, 'just a 383' they were shocked  :icon_smile_big: I told em I probably got a little more in her once Im able to tune it better with my O2 sensor setup.  They even commented after the run I had more in it if I got smaller diameter rims on it like the stock 15inch magnums my torque would well be over 400 easily.  :icon_smile_big:

Very sharp!!  It sounds awesome too!!!!!   I don't know how the "WHEEL" has anything to do with the power to the ground, but a well matched combo from motor to the ground is important. Many just go for the fit and look of wheel/tires and forget about gears and RPM for a 1/4 mile car or a daily driver.... But if you are running for example,  a 28" tire on a 14" wheel or a 20" wheel should not make a final drive difference.
