Getting ripped off sucks. I had $2500 stole from me this summer in a baseball deal. Smoke get his name out here. Zach Nelson? He have any social media accounts? We will all help look for him and keep an eye out. NOTHING worse or lower than a thief. Fact!

No tripping...spoke to another person looking. If you know what I mean. ..no losses. We in Houston Texas....even if we move. I'm there. I'm the guy who made his own head you think I'm getting screwed by a student... Who turned teacher

Chevelle...you know me better that that..Kurt Urban knows better than to get out of line.. Talk crazy? I'll be in the area in the next few wks... 427 on YB does not get out of line...nor does the guy out of Washington state. I have my own circle...

I'll fight with you and you maybe wrong...what happens when the dog turns on the owner. I'm not a dog....I don't bite. I .....get it done...figure it out. No matter where or what I'm doing.

I just don't live that lifestyle and see the $ I use to..... But if one thinks 🤔 to himself dudes full of it.... You've lost already. Imagine if seen? No matter where? Hello .... So what ...
with you... Hello! You think this matters? Honest ? I get on and talk numbers I've already seen or know of... Only HP I can't predict is Erik K. and his 468 + builds...I get Real close....it's a formula. This is real life guys...no losses, not from someone who's not family blood at that.

I generally know what your builder thinking...if not I find and ask .. eliminate the owner of.

You are baked again but I guess it's expected.
Don't let them rip you off.
It's amazing how many untrustworthy shops there are out there.

Guys, been considering a different direction yet again with my 408.
I have been in contact with Mamo once again and the LS7 route spoken about earlier is just too expensive with the new block etc.
It's more feasible for now to fully optimise my 408.
Tony has a new 240CC cathedral head with 2.130 valves and a 1.600 exhaust which he wants to sell me.
It's based on his famous 235CC head but just refined even further.
There is an optional 1.630 exhaust valve designed for boost and nitrous and I am told this will also make more power NA but specific camshaft timing will be needed to achieve this.
A narrower split is my assumption.
Fast 102 or MSD?
I re read Tony's thread about which one is better.
To cut a long story short his FAST 102 ported is stronger in torque and hp off idle to about 6500rpm.
His ported MSD makes less peak torque but more peak hp. About 13hp at 7300rpm.
Will want to be shifted at 7500rpm vs about 7000rpm for the FAST.
Would love to read some opinions here.

I think it's a great idea optimizing the build you have. We always get caught up on going bigger and better. With the right components and hands in the recipe, a 408 can scream pretty hardcore. Those Mamo heads seem like a nice setup for your new goals too. If it doesn't break the bank I'd go with the bigger exhaust valve. I know the valve cost goes up pretty quickly with increased size. I like rpm so I'd run the MSD but it really depends on your ultimate goals. Everything needs to match well. It's a good conversation to have with whoever specs your cam. I usually just have Mamo spec mine with Darth's help.
