I'd think your 383 will like the 4.30's better. They really start making power over 3k. If it was a 440 I'd say 4.10's. Drive it like a rental!

It's a 440 30 over and runs 10.90's at 124mph We run a 29x9 tire, I had Hoosiers at one point that were 30x9's but they still measured 29x9 with 4.56 gears. 1/4 traps at 6700, I shift at 6400. 55mph is usually the max cruising speed we prefer. We don't cruise it very far 10-20 miles or so. 4.30's would be fine but if you think about changing to the 56's they will be fine. Enjoy and put some pics up! Kara www.bowmanperformance.com
