Very nice, congrats on a great run. Love that 1/8 mph. Can you give us a short run down on your motor?

Running a 408 (.030 over LS2 402).

I tuned it Open Loop w/ MAF. I would like to get him in Speed Density and see if the MAF is a restriction. Might be able to squeeze a little more out of it.

This is also thru a ported FAST intake and out of the box AFR 225's (just milled a little to get the compression to 12:1). He is running pump gas thru the injectors and 116 in the dedicated fuel cell for the 400 shot. Timing is super conservative at about 15*.

This car has full interior minus the back seats. Also has a 10" subwoofer in the back. I believe that his race weight is in the 3650 area.

This car is super streetable and he usually puts 100 miles on it between driving to and from the track and going out to our meets on Friday nights.

Grats Steve!

That's nice you're not having pushing water problems. Especially with the 4.03 bore LS2 block.
