Recently added to Ride in Steel Update 7 covering the 383 stroker engine is the video of the engine on the dyno at Campbell automotive.

NOTE ABOUT VIDEO PLAYBACK: When the video starts, you’ll see 360p in the bottom right hand corner of the video frame and, to the right of that again, the fullscreen “expanding arrows” symbol. You can click on the 360p then optionally select the HD 720p version then click on the “expanding arrows” symbol to expand to fullscreen view. Don’t forget to turn up your speakers!
