mission accomplished

[PlainfieldCharger]

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

I am about to start a 70 bee that has the N96 ductwork and I want to keep the 383 and auto as the will be the fam jam....If I can get something close to that I will be

I'd love to see this project in person as it moves along!

I would love to involve another mind on my restore...The 70 bee's are a little tough as they are a one year only thing...

Awesome run John! Car is looking killer!

Just let me know when! I'm at Kirk and Butterfield neighbor!

We will set a plan. Love to take the Charger out to you...

Would love to see it out here! 

You can see my project in the making as well.

Thanks for posting. If you don't mind me asking how much does a "portable" dyno test cost?

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:

That is CHEAP.....I thought it could be hundreds.... I still can't believe that is a 383....

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  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.

I watch this video over and over and over...I noticed the big crowd....It must of blown them away....just awesome..

The dyno is always a big hit at the show. Johns car is a real attention getter too. Beautiful color.

Had to say it one more time... such an AWESOME sound!

Great job!

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.
