Make sure to thoroughly read the documentation provided. Using a dial indicator can help verify the timing position accurately.
Threadlocker on the bolts is a must! It will prevent any of them from loosening under pressure. Anyone have tips on tuning after installation?

I’ve been using a wideband O2 sensor to help with tuning. It’s made a big difference in my setup and helps ensure I’m running optimally.
That’s great to hear! I also recommend getting a good engine management system if you don’t have one already.
Make sure to double-check the torque specs on all bolts, especially the heads. Not doing this can lead to major issues down the line!

Plus, using a decent gasket can help with sealing. Nobody wants to deal with leaks after all that hard work!
I once saw someone install a stroker kit without proper prep—what a disaster that turned out to be! Always take your time.
I’m feeling hopeful about this project. It looks intense, but I’m ready to dive in. Any last-minute tools I should gather?
Having a good set of socket wrenches and an impact wrench can save you a lot of time. Don’t forget to pick up some engine assembly lube too!
Yes! I learned that the hard way. And always use clean oil for the first start-up after the install.
A good friend of mine had a stroke when he tried to do this. He says, take your time! Or maybe just leave it to a pro. Haha!
Funny enough, I think I might just get a buddy to help me out. Two sets of hands are better than one!
Remember, the journey is just as important as the destination. Take pride in your work, and you’ll enjoy the results even more!
Hey, if you’re looking to boost your SBC with a 383 stroker kit, carb selection is crucial. A Holley 750 double pumper is a solid choice for max performance!

That’s a great tip! Also consider the benefits of upgrading your exhaust. Headers can really make a difference in airflow.
Good call on the headers! I would also suggest investing in a high-performance ignition system. It can help maximize your horsepower and torque.
Absolutely! Ignition tuning can make or break your setup. Don’t forget to adjust your timing after the install!
Timing adjustments are key! Have you thought about camshaft upgrades? A good cam can drastically improve your throttle response and overall performance.
I like where this is headed. A multi-carb setup could also give you a fun challenge, plus it looks super cool under the hood!

For sure! But be cautious; tuning them can be a headache if you’re not experienced.
