I saw this as well and am impressed. I wonder what this would do with a set of AFR 225 heads, Fast 90MM or LS2 intake, and maybe a larger cam? The cam did seem a bit small but that could be me. Also would this be available with the Aluminum 6.0 truck block?
Starting to think over winter projects.

Well you might see what this combo does with a LSX 90mm intake and throttle body. As soon as the aluminum blocks are available we will start making them 408's! The cam could be bigger but Mike wanted to have good driving manners as well as power. This car was driven from Florida to Michigan by Mike. I think that says alot about the cam and it's drivabilty.

What would an aluminum block fast or LS2 combo cost with your heads and/or AFR 225?
Need to figure out how many pennies to save.
Thanks.

You can support a fellow LS1Techie and Troop and someone can send me a copy since they really dont stock those over here right now in the next 9mo's I will be here...
Mike K. Have fun with that puppy and details on driveability please. Pics nice to, even though they all look the same sometimes.

Great article. I love that video too Mike. Very nice car...
Killruss's car used to be belong to my buddy UnbelievableLS1. I installed the heads/cam, headers, clutch hydraulics and much more on that car, with a very small amount of help from UnB...heehehehe. These 402/408's area a blast on the street. I just added 4.11 gears to mine..man this thing is silly fun.

Congrats guys!
Mike, I think 15% drivetrain loss through a 12 bolt with high gears is too low. It should be closer to 16.5-17%. My guess is about 490rwhp based on 590hp at the motor.
