So now with the bigger motor I could have my original plan of running 9's with an N/A set up which it turns out I prefer. I won't run the low 9's that I would've with the 408 and the fogger but it'll be good for me and my budget.
Nothing wrong with the 408, I'm very happy happy with the #'s it's been running, I just want a little more.

If your car is set-up properly I would think some high 8's would be in order with those cubic inches

Thanks guys. I am selling my motor but not until the new one is ready to go in.
A member here is interested and we've discussed price but I'm gonna wait until a descision is made from that member before I post it up.
