Default the 408 is done

Well, I got my car back from G-Force yesterday. Runs, drives, and sounds great. I have not been able to put the car on the dyno yet though. I have to get a intank fuelpump. I have 30lbs SVO injectors, but dont want to risk it going lean. So we will have to see, but the numbers should be very strong.

I know... She does not have enough fuel on motor right now so the gas will have to wait.

Zac, Matt & Chris Powell, and I all talked about it last night. We will come back to austin to further punish the austin terds. Zac in the cobra, Matt in the vette, and Chris hopefully in something with 4 doors "a nice car" not an evo lol.

LOL on another note god the M3 is so much nicer. First thing I thought when I got in the camaro is, "well atleast it is fast." I need to find some T/A seats, its pretty drab. Don't get me wrong I get looks in the ol camaro too, but I have already had someone ask, "Is that ok." I damn near died and told them I have no clue.

I know a little about alot and that is trouble. I pay the cost as long as it runs I'm happy with what I buy etc. I posted what I know for sure, I don't like to get into what I don't know about. Greg Good did the heads Gray may know more about them than I do.

They are a nice set of ls6 heads worked on by greg good. Trust me, more there then just peak lift BS. Good average velocity all the way through the port and not a TON of sacrificed air flow for those HIGH lift numbers. Greg is hands down one of the best in the country. Worth the money for sure.

I am yet to see Thomas's heads in person but I know how Greg's work is so I would definitely stand behind it.

Why would you risk grenading that 408 by driving it around without a tune and a fuel pump??

It just seems like a lot of money was spent, and you're risking it all.

It has a base line tune in it. It is lean under WOT, therefore it will not be seeing WOT. It is fine to drive to break it in, I'm not romping on the car. The car is only seeing between 10% and 25%, and again no WOT.
