oh yeah,i spun a bearing also and that is why i went to a 408, also from tsp.hopefully that mail order tune is closer than most because some peoples are quite a bit off. it is hard to get one right,bout the only real way is to have it tuned on the dyno or street if you have the software and a wideband.

<--also spun a bearing, and ordered a TSP 408, cept i was reccomended 30# Fast injecters. I use the same Heads(+FAST 90/90), same callies crank, and Diamond nitrous pistons i believe, but same 11.3:1 CR. i also am putting it down through a 9" so i am curious to know what you will dyno especially through those flowtech headers.

my numbers were a lil on the low side, but with a few DTC's being set.

Since mileage is kinda getting really high on my bird I was thinking about doing the same thing instead of modding now. Would you mind if I asked how much everything cost all said and done? I'd like to know from someone that's actually walked the road already. Thx.

Forget the mail order tune, see Mike Norris in Altamonte Springs, he's the best tuner in the SE US. My 408 is on the engine stand waiting to go in.

so the results are kinda diassapointing the car put down 411hp and 392 tq...however its on a mail order tune right now and the a/f was like 10.9 11.0 which is really rich and the timing i know is knocked down for safety. plus the fact of the 12 bolt and 4.10 gears which eat up close to 30hp. I plan on getting a ported 90/90 setup and getting Jeremy to tune it. so im sure ill be up toward 500rwhp
