Very sweet! Nice set-up.. I hate to ask you this but I`m thinking of going to a solid roller in my 408 in sig. What kind of power would I gain? I have a 250 255 640 640 113 right now in my iron 408 A4.

Are you going to have enuff room to fit everything under the hood? Regardless that car is going to be scary fast. Then in under a year you will want more. endless circle

We figured just going with a solid roller over the hydraulic set up we would gain around 100 HP but my solid roller cam is pretty big.

That sure does look good(minus the hole in the hood, lol).
Thank you for the pictures.
I also admire the fact of how quickly you all are getting this beast built!

I made 603rwhp with my solid roller 408. Through a th400 and 9in.

It is the same exact motor except it has a couple of points lower compression for the blower. His cam is alittle bigger then mine. My cam is 279/292 732/732 on a 114.

Either way it should make a guap of power. We have to weigh in at 3350lbs.

We are almost ready for paint. It should go to get painted this weekend. He said he would have it done if 4-5 days. Then we just have to put it together. We are going to try and make the Dale race for TTT5. We are also going to try and make a couple of ultimate street TT5 races as well. Might not be the fastest but it won't be the slowest. We will be on much smaller tires as well.

We are going to spin it at 8200 RPM which is where we think it is going to make best power but we can go higher if required. This engine was built to run at high RPM to drive the blower to high RPM, booost.
