Nice looking build. I guess would also ask why you only went 408 on an LSX block .Big advantage to LSX is being able to go 427 or even bigger. And yeah 8 to 1 is pretty low for compression but heard different opinions wether it actually can be noticed in everyday driving. I went with 9.5 to one still manageable with alc injection on pump gas.But as you said the combo gave you half point or so lower than you wanted.
Are these six bolt heads as well. Thats one big advantage to the LSX setup.
Anyway enjoy your toy!

They are C6 exhaust manifolds. I added some pics of the piping, but I'll have to get it up in the air to get better pics. the charge pipes from the manifolds run along the outside of the wheel wells and the downpipes feed over the k-member on both sides.

Rode in this car the other day and man does it pull hard. Spool time is very very minimal starting out very low in the rpm range. Car has full exhaust on it and is deadly quiet while cruising even wide open I didnt think it was that loud. If I remember right it has a hooker exhaust on it.

The downpipes run over the k-member and back through a hooker catback. the pic was before the downpipes were finished. Its pretty quiet.
