You didn't recently drop that gtech then kick it around. Those are some pretty amazing times. Now lets see that 408

 

wg spring change and valve spring change and who knows. it would be fun to see. i really have to wonder if it would let go or not. the turbo is good to 35+psi. it would have to let go at that boost.... wouldn't it?

 

Only one way to find out !!

 

i guess someone has to do it. if i was to do it it wouldn't sound as good.

 

I miss quite a bit when I was down...what happend to the 6.0L engine you had in there? Also what do you think it would run in 2WD/slicks instead of 4HI launches? You going to upgrade the rear end soon too?

I would of installed a 10.5" 14 bolt but man they weight a ton! Reason I went with the 9.5" 14 bolt that they use in the SS454/lite duty 3/4 tons....was a bolt in afair! I do need to get rid of the heavier drums and switch to disk brakes.

2wd with slicks? if you could get it to hook i would think .3 or so quicker. right now there are several lightning guys pulling low 1.5's and a couple in the 1.4x 60' times so i know it can be done if thats the route someone wanted to go.

i blew up the 6.0 with a nitrous mishap and have been running the original 4.8 for awhile. Cmotorsports give me a killer deal on a bad *** 408 and it is finialy done!!!

i think the rear will be ok for awhile, no slicks. i might try some drag radials sometime but i think it will be ok with that. it is the front i am worried about.

 

see what u can achieve with the 4.8L before the 408 goes in!

 

time out your saying that dropping 400 pounds is going to drop your et by how much time???

 

it is kind of confusing. i was all ready corecting for my pasenger(-.2) and for the gtech variance(+.3) that i have seen in the past. all that leaves is corecting for the other 200lbs, that would be .1 or a little more quicker is all.

another way of looking at it would be drop 400lbs and run .3 quicker and then add in the gtech variance of .3 so i think i could run what it actualy says. this would have to be on a cold day at the track.

 

once again you have proved your prowess i thought i saw someone say that if you dropped 400 pounds you would gain 1 sec off your quarter mile and i was about to go start cutting some stuff up j/k i was just trying to clarify thanks
