Just ordered my 408! What cam? Just got back from G-Force. Ordered my iron 408 from LME with a set of ET 240 heads. Man I can`t wait to see this put together! As you can see in my sig I have everything to bolt to this. The only thing we haven`t decided on was a cam. I`m running a A4 and drive on the street. What do you think fellas! How big should I go with the cam and what company, I want a good lope with this! I`m going to spray a 200 shot on top!!! :devil
Sounds like a conversation between you, G-Force and LME is in order. You can get all the great internet advice you want, but it will be those two companies who will be standing behind you new motor. Feel free to get opinions from this board, but by all means, use what they recommend.

We're going to get David something special for sure. My own personal feelings are that we can get to 530 RWHP through his A4 with a cam in the low 240's @ .050. I think it'll be great for driveability, and it will love the N20.

I think this thing is going to fly! Just think, 530plus rwhp with a A4 and then a 200 shot! Can`t wait to see the faces of the fellas at the track. They arn`t going to know what to thing over here at Angelton Dragway! Little o Black WS6!!! Thanks Ben!
I left everything to Ben and Mike at G-Force. I told them to build me a BADASS motor. I trust them!

With Wiseco's Off-The-Shelf 408 LS1 piston and a 6.0L GM MLS gasket the chamber volume needs to be 66CC's for 11:1 compression. That is what we've ordered.
The other set of 240CC heads that we used flowed 336 @ .600 on a 4.000" bore. They went on a 382 that made 470 RWHP with a grandma cam. We're going to add a FAST 90/90 and some Kooks 1 7/8th headers and try to make 500 RWHP with his wife-loving cam (Think stock cubic-inch sized cam). On a 4.030" bore they will go over 340 for sure. I wouldn't even be supprised to see 350 @ .650. Craig said we should see the heads in about 3 weeks.
The cam will probably be in the low/mid 240's @ .050 for intake duration. With David's bolt-ons I'm expecting to see 530 RWHP through his A4. On his 200 shot 750 would be a nice number don't you think David?
That's my reply from the other thread.
