That was sad I have just a cam with 413whp and ran dead even and out ran a few cobra's with 450whp depending on the car . Put some boost on that thing. Loose the AFR's and get some trickflows too and make some real power.

Why are all of you guys saying its sad. The man went to a gun fight with a knife in his pocket. I dont car what ci the motor is low compression and I am talking lower than stock <10:0:1 is gonna run like a turd. I have even seen some 408's that have gotten out ran by h/c cars. Its all in the setup of course a strong 408 but not 1 thats setup for a lot of boost. Put the turbo on the car and that slowbra is going to get owned. Hell a 150 shot looks like it woulda done the trick
