I've seen 383 stroker small blocks in lots of different Chevy's over the years - some of these cars just flat fly and others do not run as well as you would think. A lot also depends on how well the rest of his car is sorted out as there are a lot of 400+ hp cars out there that can't put this type of power to the ground efficiently. I've seen stroker cars at the strip that only run 13's but I have a friend with a 383 stroker in a well sorted out 70 Nova that will run 11.90's like clock work all day on the motor alone (Goes 11.20's with a 125 shot). You by far have the best idea of anyone here on how well this particular car really runs, so let this be your guide on how much you want to invest in your car in order to go for this kill. As suggested, NOS, gears, a shift kit and tires will give you the most bang for the buck. Good luck!
