It is on an LS1...it's not very big in a 408. You're going to end up with something like a 256/262 on LSL lobes...

An ms4 in a 408 is like having a 3 inch peni* with a wide open Viginia lol. Your motor is saying I can't feel u lmao. But take the ms4 out and get a custom cut cam. Martin at tick is nice as well but my hats goes off to Bryan Tooley and Briantooleyracing they have some fast ****.
