Has anyone built a solid roller LS1 408 CID or bigger and added boost yet ?

If so what were the results?

Why do you care if its 408+CI? Some of the fastest LS1s out there are 346-370

If the goal is big power on pump, then it makes sense to spend on cubes. I think Dalipalarso (sp?) was going with an HPE built shortblock 408, hydro roller. Pure Evyl is 408 short block too, T88 is going on now as well. I seriously doubt you'll need to spin a 408 to 8400 to make gobs of power, unless this is pure out dyno/trailer queen and 1/4 machine.
