Default New 408 is in!

Just picked up my car yesterday from G-force, they installed my new 408.

Wanted to say thanks to LME for building a strong motor, Jay at G-force for busting his *** getting it installed in no time, Mike for a badass tune, and Ben for taking all of my one millllllion calls.

I was hoping to put a couple coats of Zaino on it today but the weather just wasn't holding out here in Houston.

Here are a couple pics.

Enjoy, I know I will!

How many HP's and TRQ are you putting out? Cam, heads, etc? Was about to get mine dynoed and tune today at MTI, but they said my 28#er's wont be pushing enough. Have to wait.

Well I kinda skimped when it came to picking out heads, this wasn't a planned motor build so the funds weren't there to go all out.

Patriot Stage 3 LS6
244/250 .612/.613 112lsa

All in all i'm happy with it so far, it feels so much different than my old motor, night and day.
