The two biggest mistakes some engine builders make is "too much cam" and "too much carburetor". Either one alone will make for difficult low speed operation. Put them together, and it's the stuff nightmares are made of. At 6K RPM, a 383 is flowing less than 600 CFM in real world numbers, so virtually every carburetor the hotrod shops recommend is WAY too much.
