Kind of funny as I do not think that is even close to doable with a 408 with a procharger or nitrous. Personally I would go with the T-trim

Between the torque of the 408 and that of the SC or N20, there is going to be zero traction with street tires. Low 10s with that combo is not doable since you will be spinning the tires well past the 60' mark.

Is there a V2 T-Trim? I thought they were either a V1 or V3.

How do you plan on mounting this blower? Do you have RMCR or other custom brackers made up?

I think you need to do a lot more research before jumping into something.

Coming from someone who had a ys vortech on my car. Id go with NOS. this way you can have the power come when its needed and not all the time via a progressive controller.

They do make a V-2 T-trim, that's the SQ (superquiet) gearbox. I have one on my 383 and it put down 632rwhp. Generally I can only hear it when I'm off the gas, slowing down.

Either way, you will need drag radials to accelerate the way you really want to. Although nitrous with the progressive controller is a solid second choice.
