From the research I've done through various motors and combos, no experience with ETP's though you'll be disappointed with the results for the money spent. What's your whole engine combo? The heads if they are 245's are about as good as it gets maybe there's room for improvement somewhere else and for less money. The heads were Performance Induction, then ETP and then Mast I believe.

nitto99,


What are your goals with the 408? Is it a time or power number? N/A or are you running a power adder?
