Very impressive numbers Kevin and its not really necessary to see 500+RWTQ while i have a semi Flat TQ curve @ 430rwtq as an average all across the board buddy

I hope to see the car before its shipped to home

peace

Oh that is long gone. Got rid of it. I was tired of all the problems with it and rather drive my car instead of fixing it all the time.

Great #'s I was also suprised at the torque #'s. I'm looking at doing a similar combo in my 00 FRC. Is there a reason why you chose 225 heads instead of 235s? Anything needed to do to the C5 front suspension to handle the extra weight of the iron 408? Isnt it like a extra 90lbs? Once again congrats. You can send me a PM with any tips,ideas you have to help would be greatly appreciated.

Well went with the 225's because I needed to mill them down to 59cc to achieve the higher compression. The 235s would start running into problems milling them that far. So opted for the 225s. As far as the suspension no not really. I have coilovers now but I ran the 408 with the F1C on stock suspension with no problems. I think the actual weight difference is only like 60lbs or so not quite sure. But haven't had any problems.

I will have to check the cam card on it tomorrow. I am honestly not sure. Maybe Ron could chime in on that.

Oh ya it does. I think it's the end of the line for engine mods for me. I have exceeded the limits of my tires and myself. Now just need to iron out the tune and smooth out the drivability.
