Default LME 408 Question ?

I plan on ordering a LME 408Pro, Do you think with proper fuel pump and injectors that i can stand up to 150 or 200 nitrous wet shot.

i went with my buddy yesterday to pick his up. he has eagal crank, eagal rods (i think), and wiesco pistons. i heard lme tell him it was good to 300+. LME builds good motors from the 3 or 4 that i have had personal experiance with.

I`m spraying a 200 shot right now on my new LME 408. I had them drill my LSX90mm intake for a direct port in the future(plan 300 shot). I just didn`t have the extra money for it right now. I`m using Nitrous Daves 90mm plate right now. Should be here tuesday. LME motors are plain BADASS!

Depending on how the engine is set up, it is possible, but you can't just say one engine from a certain company can handle x shot. It all depends on what kind of block (iron or aluminum), ring gaps, type of pistons, etc. and how well they build it. Bottom line, LME can easily build you a setup to handle that if you tell them that's what you want.

Right now with the Vig not working very we`ll. We got 478rwhp 498TRQ with A4, 12-bolt-3.73 gears and ZR-1`s. The new converter should be in monday or tuesday of this week specially ordered just for the 408. We also ordered Nitrous Daves 90mm plate to spray my 200 shot. The vig converter is set-up for a H/C 346, so The 408 over powers it. Loosing some power to the wheels bigtime. I think with the new converter we will be over 500rwhp alone. LME builds some of the baddest motors out there. Don`t be afraid! Just tell them what you want to do!! Good Luck!

depends on how you order it

had them put the nitrous rings on my 408 and they said go ahead and hit it with a 350-400

im sure a 200-250 is fine with the standard setup
