what would this 408 put down?
what would this 408 put down? blew the h/c ls1 so i ordered a 408 from texas speed...i ordered there
-408 shortblock
-Eagle LS1 forged crank 4.00 stroke
-Eagle LS1 H beam connecting rods
-Diamond 10cc pistons
-texas giant cam 248/254 .611/.613 112 w/ pushrods
-LS7 lifters
-Fast 92/92
Im using the heads from my LS1 they Patriot LS6 style heads...59 cc i was told these are gonna hurt me a little bit so just curious... compression is gonna be 11-11.5 / 1
now all this doesnt ship out til the end of the week...so im curious if anyone with a similar setup put down? this is a street car as well as a track car too thanks for anyone who can actually give me a real estimate on power here...i just cant wait to get it all installed THANKS!

just from the looks of it i would venture out and guess 465rwhp and 420tq give or take a few hp. with some better heads i would have said more, but those wont flow well enough to make great numbers

if they are stage 3 patriots and 1 7/8 headers through a 6 spd stock rear i know someone put down 502 with almost the same set up with the tx giant and only a ls6 intake ported tb, he gad a really good tuner tho
flywheel hp I sure he was talking flywheel hp ! I asked same question and they said ya flywheel hp! But who knows honesly I just missed 500 hp with ms4 cam and ls6 stg 2 heads and tsp 402 so ya never know .
Fifedogg has an LS2 402 with an MS3 and stage 1 ported 243s and hit 502rwhp/475rwtq, I saw his car for the first time last week, you can hear the cam but you would never know its a 500+rwhp car.
EDIT: Hes also still on a 10 bolt, waiting till it breaks to install the 12 bolt.
