i have a high performance engine, a 383 stroker, when starting it its ok and when driving at normals speeds its ok but when i step on the gas to go faster it starts to squeal. i think it may be the belts or the power steering or the alternator. what could this be? and y is it squealing?

It's typically the belts. Once they start to squeal, the belts typically get glazed. It's better just to replace them.

Most likely it's a belt squeal.Check the belts and look for wear or maybe a shiny "varnish" on them.They could be loose or one of the pulleys may be starting to bind up.

a loose belt would be the most likely, but a vaccuum leak may whistle (close to a squeal ) if the belts check out.

I bet you a dollar the belts need to be tightened.

If it's not the tires (lol!), it may be a belt. Try tightening them up.

BELTS FIRST BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE BUY THE CHEAPEST BELTS AROUND FROM CHEAP AUTO PARTS STORES.
BUY A GOODYEAR BELT FIRST LINE ONLY.

belts is a good place to start. if they are worn replace them. if they look good, retension them and check alignment of the pulleys

Loose or old dry belts.... replace with new and make sure they are tight.... too easy...
