Way to go Ry! You will enjoy the 383. Smart approach too. Is your fuel system up to the task?

Not sure where they are Tony I bought the motor 2nd hand brand new off a member on LS1Tech. How is the company good or bad? And I'd be really happy with 500 rwhp and 450 rwtq.

Smoke is actually because its freezing cold outside. Nothing is wrong with the 346 it doesnt burn oil or anything like that.

Thanks Ron. I'm looking to mainly up the TQ output. So hopefully the extra cubes and new cam will help out. Fuel system is 36# injectors and Walbro 255 intank pump. You think that will be up to the task?

Ryan, HKE is out of Houston. The owners names is Eric. And yes the company is good. Eric know his stuff. He's one of the premier builders down here in Texas. You will will be more than happy with the motor. Make sure to post up some pics when it's in.

^^THIS!
HKE can build a mean LS engine. I saw and heard a 4th gen Camaro that had a 427HKE engine and that thing was stout. They aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Hey Ryan, looks like we're both in the middle of a motor upgrade. It's good to be us. Look forward to reading and hopefully watching how everything turns out. Still digging that stance and those wheels.
