Holden SS Commodore 355ci Stroker *RVN 355 *

im goin 383 in my vn ss later on. i dont see how its undrivable i think its just to do with the skill of the driver lol..

what i mean by "undriveable" is the amount of torque it produces...
ive been in a 383 stroker with a 5 speed behind it.... all it wants to do is break traction every chance it gets and its not enjoyable cos your sh!tting your pants whenever you see a bump in the road when the things accelerating....

and when you run a crank and rod setup that big your block has to be machined to its limits to fit everything inside.

a 383 is just a torque monster thats built to be used as a boat motor.
not for a car thats driven on the street....

Oh yeah, thats what I'm talkin bout :driving::thumbsup:

Also, about the 383 block being at its limits, does that mean it's only going to produce cooling issues, or is the block at risk of getting damaged?

Btw, C.O.M.E racing has now developed a 396ci LOL, imagine that

Yer, you can do 13's in a 304 with just bolt ons if u really tried.
Very Low 12's is what I heard from all the 355 dudes

considering a stock 5 litre does 14's 15's man 12s are pretty good man without forced induction,as previsouly mention new manifold,dyno power figures and 1/4 mile times will all be know in the not so far distant future.

reason no one goes 383 is because it way more expensive, you need speical short pistons different rods etc pluss you have to cut alot more out of the block they put alot more stress on the motor too. a 355 is much more reliable and cheaper there isnt a whole lot of power difference too just where the power is slightly lower. i wouldnt even consider a 383 you can get what you want from a 355 unless u are racing N.A. or somthing.

Exactly the same boat here At the end of the day I won't be thrashing the guts out of it everywhere anyway, I doubt I'd cause any structural damage to the motor.. just want a seriously mean streeter. I enjoy the challenge of driving a ridiculously powerful car.
