Eagle rods
Diamond -15cc pistons

Wasn't too bad considering. I already had the 408 shortblock. So just bought the top end package from Vengeance along with some of the other goodies. They actually have a bunch of sales. Can't remember what I paid exactly though. Video and audio should be coming soon. I have to pull out my camera and charge her up.

Congrats!! What's your compression? Hp is stout, I would have expected a little more torque with those heads but dyno numbers don't mean squat lol. Have fun!!!

My motor was boosted before. Figured it would be easier to grab my compression from the top instead.

Compression is right at about 11.3:1 I believe. Honestly I was hoping for some more torque as well but after trying it on the streets I can boil the pilot sports pretty much in any gear

Ya man! I especially like the torque curve. That's why I didn't complain when the tq number was lower than what I expected. It's practically flat lined from the jump.

Yeah you're right very nice curves! Good torque down low around 3500 and power holds on past peak a good bit

Ya need to go back to the dyno and work out that dip as well. With that A/F and 29 degrees timing we didn't see any knock so I am thinking there is a lot more left in it.
