I hope the tune helps you because I was thinking that I wouldn't mind having a 408 stroker motor. I will be waiting for any future posts about this car.

I was the camera man in both of those video's...I weigh 270, so I was the differance in the race vs. the LT1 and ZULater01's car. When I switched cars ZULater01's car was couldn't pull like it did in that video.
I'm sure that had something to do with red repers run but still...that 408 should have pulled ZuLaters's car.

Hey Eric, in the video where Matt gets the jump and pulls me by like a car and a half, the next race when you are with me he starts pulling and you said "hes pulling" I gain back up in 4th before we let off. All in all that car is strong! I have that vid compilation up but can't find someone to host it.

4.10's vs. 3.42's isn't even fair. Imagine what rpm he was at for you to be at an even roll. ZULater01 was probably well in his powerband.. Its likely the 408 was not. Even though you should have started reeling him in after a few seconds into the race... I think with a good exhaust setup and a tune and some gears, you would come ahead by a bit. I'd definately get it dyno tuned. You need it anyways. That alone should tell you if its in the tune or not when you make the first dyno pass and read the a/f.
BTW: 347rwhp in a bolton car without headers is ******* ridicolous.
Peace,
Josh

why would you spend the dough on a 408 stroker, but go el cheapo on the exhaust and tune? If you are gonna do it, for **** sakes do it right. TSP at the right can help you make that baby breath better. I suggest one of the aforementioned lt's matched with the tsp rumbler x true duals. that should help you out. Then go get a real tune, none of this mail order bull ****.
Good vids.
Good luck, and do that 408 up right dammit b4 i force you to sell it to me![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)

nevermind the 347rwhp , dyno operators can pad numbers (they want dyno queens cause its easy money...) but 13.0 is damn good. and 111 is rediculous, and you have 4.10s?!?!?! I would think you'd trap slightly lower with 4.10s but aparently not.
zulater..you have the stock 10 bolt? I might have to switch to some 4.10s damn.
