It’s a ATK 383
• Bore/Stroke: 4.040” x 3.750”
• Displacement: 383CI
Okay, I'm twitching. It's not
really a 383, it's a 385. It sounds like the bore didn't clean up at .030" over, which would be a 383, so they went another .010" which makes it a 385, but if you
say "383" everybody knows kinda what it is. If you say 385, people get lost.
I have yet to hear anything good about any aftermarket fuel systems and you still have to run the transmission which none of these systems will do on their own.
I tend to complain about Holley nickel and diming customers on the Sniper setup, but now that mine's pretty much dialed in, it runs flawlessly. You are correct that BigIron002 will need a transmission controller for his first-year 4L60E, but I did not for my 700R4.
Thanks for the tip, that's why forums like this one are great, multiple 1/2 brains get together to make a full one! Lol
In my experience as a supervisor, brains are multiplicative, not additive. If you put two half-wits together, they don't get competent, they get stupider.
.5 x .5 = .25
Instead, couple your half-wit with someone who's competent, and then have a solid performer inspect their work.
.5 x 1 = .5 + 1.5 = 2
If you get a whole crew of partially competent people together, you get massive stupidity.
.5 x .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 = an accident requiring an ambulance
