I agree with this more than anything...dyno numbers are just that. I can personally attest to a WIDE disparity between dynos.

WHite1 just dynoed 294rwhp but yet he runs 12.8s at 101, that isnt indicative of a 294rwhp truck. You may want to ask the guys running 408s in rcsb's what their track times are.

Is there any visual differences in a 408 and a 4.8? becasue im pretty sure those arent cali legal but as long it will pass visual and the sniffer it should be good dont you think? im would be more than happy with 500rwhp. (And sorry for hijack but didnt want to start a new thread there is a million 408 questions on the front page)

There should be no external differences between the two save for the casting numbers on the blocks and heads.

You would be hard pressed to get anywhere near 500 n/a rwhp with a cam that would pass california emissions.
