Nothing like BB low end grunt rumpity rump. From the basement. 440. Otherwise you're just "explaining.

Let's look at this from the TOP(end that is). Nothing like the HI-RPM scream (6000rpm or MORE) going thru the gears. Rev to the stratosphere. That's the 383, baby! Otherwise, YOU'RE just all "TORQUE" (talk)!! And YOUR basement door slams shut AT 5-6000rpm.

A 440 will be two car lengths ahead of the 383 before it even gets to 5000 RPM!

And LOTS of 440's are pulling strong well past 6000

Are on the PIPE!! 60-120 ft past the tree 383's have been known to hit 6000 (or better) rpm (gear depending) and "step out" on 440's in 2nd and 3rd gears. At the 660-1000 ft mark, a "good" lightweight 383 car WILL outleg a 440 car to the finish, driver depending. Your "2-car advantage" has been either eliminated or "switched around" to the 383 car at the finish!! 383's been campaigned in Super/Stock regularly back in the early 60 - mid 70's and turned rpms in excess of 7500 rpm, reliably! They also ran and still run brackets and Stock Eliminator classes. The "rage" of the newer engine technology, has allowed the onslaught of STROKER
motor combos to be MUCH stronger but at LOWER streetable rpms. Excellent technology and science by far, as well as being cheaper to build than a stout 383. As I said "440 is CHEAPER power, but not the CURE-ALL"!! Never any HATE, just a strong DEBATE!!
