Krambo Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 ya i like the idea of a 408.. but i dunno.. just not that impressed with them i mean dont get me wrong they are bad ass!!.. but i dunno then i gotta buy a bottle and spray it just to get where im at now..and a blower never need to be refilled ... maybe im wrong.. Trust me, a properly configured naturally aspirated 408 will match a cammed Radixed 6.0L in the HP department. The rpm that the power is generated will differ, obviously along with street manners.

And that leaves more $$$ to put into a WELL researched induction system, which IMO will make a whole lot more power than the same money spent on a $1000 crankshaft. Done right the factory crank will make the truck go fast enough to get kicked off the track... My $0.02. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
