Is it possible to stroke a 350 chevy to 383 and have it run with the TBI system? What can be done to improve prformance with this system? Thanks, Mike

Improve air flow in and out of the cylinder, increase fuel delivery.
Doing the above with headers, porting, after market tbi systems etc.

You will want the longer 350 rods, and a considerable increase in cam duration, exhaust and inlet gas flow if you want it to rev anywere near what the 350 did.
I personaly prefer the 350 crank in a 400 block, then every thing fits without need to grind metal of rods and bolts. piston speeds are also slower and rod angularity is still quite good

As you learn more about the 383 you'll find that tuning the exhaust is very important regarding the performance of these engines. They can produce massive amounts of torque and a lot can be gained by paying close attention to how exhaust relates to torque production. The engines really don't spin as fast as some so the amount of power to be had in rpm is limited forcing us to look at other areas. Maximize the torque potential and keep horsepower as an afterthought- a smart selection of parts(roller valvetrain, etc.) will ensure plenty of horsepower.
Adding that big arm really affects a lot of things people sometimes tend to overlook.

if I were in your position, I would very seriously look into purchasing a Whipple. Call'em at 559-442-1261. They have a fantastic piece for you.
