I think there are still copies out there. Wasnt it on DVD or PDF also?Find a copy of the book "Old Reliable" by Don Dulmage. It's a dated book, but the information is still very relevant. He shows you how to go FAST on the CHEAP. It's very detailed.

Did you follow this when you built your 400?..It was but now I cannot find it. The printed copies have all but dried up. I had a member here years back just send me an extra copy he had. It's a good book. A LOT of info in a small space. Very well thought out.

Taking a stab in the dark...RP heads, huge >[email protected] cam, 950+cfm carb.
First off...... def not a street or street/strip combo.
Decent heads(ported RPM), big SFT cam, high CR(13:1), big headers, big carb(4500).
I’ve made more HP from a stock stroke 440 with less CR and less cam, but with bigger & better flowing heads and intake manifold.
Jim Laroy has done some stock stroke 440’s that made way more power than the one I posted the sheet for.
You should or old yeller is going to have you for lunch.,Well, me not being a big block expert (or an expert in anything ), I'm paying attention.....
. I have to kindly disagree. The performer rpm intake is best for mildly upgraded 440. Its outta breathe at 6000rpm. Eddy heads with 84cc chambers and that intake, with this camI would try simply replacing your stock iron intake with a holley street dominator or M1 and see what that does. Should get you to pull a bit harder on the top end. You don't want to spin too much faster than 6,000 rpm anyhow with stock oiling. You still have the small pick up tube or is it upgraded to the Hemi style?

It had impressive performance in a somewhat more than "mild" 383 (263/[email protected] cam), but of course that's a significantly smaller displacement too.
Part 2 of Hot Rod's Mopar Intake Manifold Shootout
I'll see how it does in my 451 once I get the 950 carb dialed in (and have enough nerve and straight empty road to wind 'er up)
Then it might be time to try an M1 or Victor intake (and possibly a 1050 Dominator)...
We remember. The video in the industrial park of the 200 foot burnout was classic.I had a pretty rowdy 383 in my dart for a few years.

We did not forget that this thread is 3 years old and back on page 2 was reminded the guy hasn't been on the Forum in at least a year correct?...
I had a pretty rowdy 383 in my dart for a few years. Car went 11.50’s in full street trim. My car ran fastest with eddy rpm intake and trick flow heads. Slowed down .2 with victor intake. I ran 4500 dynamic converter with 4:10’s and 28” radial.
I fit an M1 with a drop air cleaner under a 71 with a 440 -
