Again, I could be wrong.
Stewart, you are correct. Also, the reason why you have not seen many competitive 383's and 440's in the past was due to the fact that many did not want to build these engines due to the CFM limitations of the carburetor. With the HP defactoring and the cam rule change, theses combinations with 383/440 engines with the Carter AVS carburetor, have become competitive. Also, let's not take away, and let's recognize the hard work and many hours of R&D by racers like Steve Wann and others that have made these engine combinations competitive in Stock and Super Stock class.
