I find it interesting that shitty valves were left in, considering how common valve failure is with big cams. I understand its "race" stuff and no one says "here ya go, here's your engine that won't last 10,000 miles on the street."
The Chinese aren't too good for warranties. I bet AFR would stand behind the enforcer though....

Sorry everyone . I made the 408 thread and never updated this one . Oops !

Car made 521 to the tire unlocked.
Cesars just ridiculously good at tuning . The car drives better than before when it had the small cam.

Circle D hit the nail on the head with the converter. Its perfect.

Car feels awesome and i already ran a lightly modded c6z and pulled away very convincingly.

Now just need to get back on the track and put down some 10 sec passes. The Texas Tango Nationals at HRP was rescheduled for next coming weekend and if you like Pro Mods it's the place to be.

I was in Houston last week and it was definitely hot out there, but not like Vegas. It was 112 in Vegas. Yeah, that… “but it’s a dry heat” thing…whatever. Felt like an air fryer.

My only thoughts about the Heat & Drag racing is.
if I could sit in my Vehicle A/C on and Watch, it would be Nice.... ice cold Sprite and a Puff or 2. I do this, but Going back into the Heat has Played out & reason I stopped going to Either Track 😢

Be nice if they held NHRA events in the Fall/Winter months but the track is open to the public for street legal racing on Friday nights which is nice. Since the Texas Tango Nationals have been postponed once again due to weather in the Gulf which will most likely not be a factor this weekend they may open up the place up to the public this Friday night.
