was wondering how many boosted 408s are out there and what are your combos to the "T". my L92s had a serve mishap so Im going to be rebuilding the motor and been thinking of boost. im almost sold on boost at the moment. i want 7xxrwhp minimal on pump gas. so lets here the combos and your experience with them, how they drive, how they preform and etc. give ball park price if possible, if it gives you a headache and all that jazz

 

Damn quik you have almost as bad of luck as I do

What happened to the L92s?

 

yes very bad luck, brake a trans in 1k miles, destroy motor in 1200 miles and thats 200 miles of having new trans........lets just say heavy L92 valves, 244/248 612/615 cam with crane springs and a 6800 shift point dont mix.....floated a valve and destroyed a head, havent tore the heads off yet but im sure the piston is junk. the valve head is broken off and turned sideways in the chamber, the guide is destroyed and the valve stem is sideways, thats just the intake valve havent seen the damage of the exhaust one yet

so rule of thumb when running L92s make sure you have strong enough springs and the springs were capable of 650lift as well, lol

 

Ouch, Im sure thats next on my "to destroy" list

FYI, Im running 9:1CR in preperation for boost later on down the road when my wallet recovers from the rest of this ****. According to Richard its a good compromise between boost capability and out of boost performance. I have a dyno chart from a twin 402 with a tiny cam making north of 1000hp with 8.2:1CR on 93

 

right now im kinda in between rock and hard place. i have about 2k into exhaust so turbo is out of quesiton unless i find someone wanting my setup, but there isnt many that need that kinda of exhaust. so ive been thinking super charger. actually ATI right now with a FMIC

 

Hey sorry to hear about your **** busting up on your Quik. Don't mean to jack your thread but you have any carnage pics? As far as twins on a 408 I'd think there's a lot more of those running around the tech side no? I'd go with twin 76's but you can get alot more hp than the 700rwhp your looking for.

 

heres a shot of #7 cylinder itook with my phone.....

 

your "buddy" Jay in the red 427 T/A has a black TT 408 camaro.

he's local, if you'd want to talk to him.

 

dont him and george like despise each other??

 

ill pass on that one, i would like a combo that produces
