TFS 225 59cc heads
Cometic .040 gaskets

Comp OEM drop in lifters

The car runs like a raped ape and sounds pure nasty!!!

Will have a dyno sheet up tomorrow. The car runs like a raped ape and sounds pure nasty!!!
Nice, the more I see the numbers of 408's and 402's I want one.
Btw wasn't your car a TT? If so why did you go back to N/A?

My car was F1C. I went back because I got tired of all the stupid corvette gremlins and I like to drive my car more than I like fixing it. N/A all the way man.

I thought you had more power before? What was your previous NA 408 combo and what was it making? I was waiting to see what your combo made with the TFS heads. I remember you having a diff set of heads and cam combo or am i just being retarded?

The other combo was around 450 or so I can't remember exact numbers. It was ETP 215 62cc heads with a GT11 cam. I had a set of -2cc pistons in there as well but they stuck out the block .100 so I had to stack gaskets. Didn't like that at all so I went ahead and put the boost pistons back in and ordered some new heads. Ron talked me into the other stuff like the cam, rockers, oil pump, and etc.

I am going to try and get some up this week. I just hope the camera can capture the sound and do it partial justice at least.

Sweet numbers! Off topic but, how do you like your coil overs? I am trying to get rid of this wheel hop so I can launch it from a stop.

I love them. Probably one of the best things I did to the car. I don't have any wheel hop problems with them.

Kevin, engine sounds like it's runnin' great. Hopefully you can lead me in the right direction with my 408 build i think within' a month or so i'm gonna pick up that 6.0 engine then start looking for a local place to bore it out Gotta start getting my parts aquired as well. I think if i do this i'm gonna go with the MS4 cam i always wanted to run that cam as it's HUGE. maybe a polluter, we'll see. I'd probably be better off with a custom grind instead of off the shelf. We'll see. Can't wait for the video

I too went from sc to na/402. I road race my car and the sc was just too much work. 402 seems just as fast, even though it has 90 less rwhp. I too just want to drive mine, tired of working on it. I am thinking I might should have done the MS4 instead of the MS3, but that might be a future mod.

Awesome numbers.

Thanks again everyone. Cole don't mess around with off the shelf cams man. Get one spec'd out for you and you will be much happier.
