You find a 383W, with his heads, his intake, and his cam. We will wait....
Not to get too far off topic but how does that work? Longer rod gives you less compression "space" i.e. c.i. than a 393..? .. at least, I am trying to visualize it.. So to get more c.i. you go to a shorter rod? But wouldn't a longer rod mean longer to revv?? .. eh ..er .. shorter rod quicker rev..Sounds contradictory but I am sure there is some scientific methodology there.I dunno.. I just start it and it runs.

Yeah believe it or not ive been reading Chevy sites to see what those guys run on their 383 strokers. Its helping. But theres not much 383 Windsor documentation. Easier to find 393. My 383 uses a longer rod...Chevy 6.2 So the Motor should be an awesome revver. The 383 is like the 351 version of a 331.
I agree. 408 is going to be your best bet for combo comparison. You can look at mine but between the cubes and the compression , we are a bit off. Whats your goal really?
Thinking about it more.., with your comp ratio,,..hmm...If it we ME.. I would go forced induction on 2nd thought. Why? Because my educated guess could be way off and Stopsign brought it home with the comment - you may only get to 400rwhp NA. Now that's not bad at all, but ME, I would try to get more out of it. I would go for it! You could end up pushing more rwhp than you would ever have NA AND a nice smooth running car. I am going to have to back down to prolly 430rwhp to get that out of my NA man.
It just comes back to the idea that ideally its good to be making the correct power for your combo before you throw boost at it just so you arent bandaiding frustratingly low dyno numbers.
Question. Maybe I missed this, but has it been verified if his low numbers are due to a problem with the build or is it just the fact that the combo isn't very ideal?
No it hasn't. However, with the pro-comps, typoon intake and 351R headers my 414 only put out 338rwhp lol. So take away 31 c.i. and down the compression to 9:1, and 200 something rwhp is right there.Amazing but sheesh, if you dont let it breathe it doesn't matter what size engine you have.
So with that being said, the combo itself is making what it should, correct? If that is the case I really don't think going the blower route is that bad of an idea. I think its going to come down to your personal preference. Do you want a big HP all motor car or a blown car? It's going to make great power either way.
There is no such thing as too much head.
Think about it.

yeah my cam is mild...compression is mild and the heads suck at flowing.
So get a cam that is designed for your combination and goals in mind and get a good set of heads. I'd suggest Trickflow High ports or some AFR 225s. Your compression isn't that bad at all.
