with the 4.8 i was able to brake stall it to 6+psi or even higher before i launched it. then the climb from 6psi up to full spool took some time as you can see on the gtech.

with the 408 i am only able to get 1-2psi and the truck will pull right off the line. full spool is fast and dramatic. then a nice steady pull after that.

i am up to 300miles now with the 408, it will only be a few more days before i attempt to turn it up a little. i want to pull the timing back a few deg and see how much boost i can get on pump gas. i may have to start rolling into it if traction becomes a problem.

Nice Jim. Keep us updated (like your not going to right lol). I want to see how far that t-76 does. I think its gonna run out of steam really quick, thats a lot of cubes! Then its time for nitrous though. Is that a BB Q-trim?

glad to see you got that spare out and the full size back in. probably a ton of difference with the cubes even when not on the boost. of course it probably spools very quickly with those cubes though.

Cause in Cali 20 mph over the limit is as fast as you can go and still get to go to traffic school!
