408 Stroker build dyno sheet (RPM Motors, SCV) Bought the car about a month and a half ago, rings were bad, among other things that just were not right....
Took the car to Charlie & Austin at RPM Motors in Santa Clarita, after speaking to some other shops, I felt RPM was the best shop to do the work and they are in my back yard, win win.
Rebuilt 408 Stroker, Texas Performance block, AFR Heads, Comp Cam (230/242), Wiseco Pistons, new ACT clutch, Headers, no cats, Full Corsa exhaust, (was on car already), new cam bearings, crank polish, A&C rings, new motor mounts, etc etc etc.
Had the motor built/tuned my Charlie and I am running 510 hp to the wheels and 475 ft lbs torque, (naturally aspirated)
Very happy with the car, the power is tremendous, it moves for a house on wheels. I was treated right by the shop, no surprises, they walked me through every step, (I was there a few times a week for them to show me exactly what was going on).
I have owned many many cars and I must say that this V is one of my favorites. Not only can I throw 5 adults in the car, I can get them to where we are going very, very quickly!!!!

That's got to be a lot of fun to doodle around town in, no doubt!
Get it out to the track and see if it can get some traction to put down some good 1/4 times
