Well as
some of you may know I had some issues when i tore down my 346 so i decided to go to bigger cubes and figured oh what the hell we will just go to a 408 and lots of boost. After some long thinking and many hours on the phone with Jeff we have come to some solid conclusions and im proud to say that Jeff and TPE is going to be building me a great motor that is going to absolutly make a brutal street car. So we ditched the whole 408-416 ls3 idea and came to a conclusion of an lsx 434.
My goals are 1000+rwhp 1000+rwtq or more on straight pump gas at 13-14psi we shall see what the dyno says at the end of the tuning process
