That's what I'm talkin about! Anyone know a recommended PSI for these 555r's to be their stickiest? I've been told about 20lbs but that seemed a tad low to me.

I would buy an LS motor if i had the chance but there is a rumor that if you do then you will wake up with a mullet and roll over to see your cousin in the bed with you..

You may be right.

Explain how a 408 stroker which will cost more than picking up a 60k mile escalade 6.0 is better. The power level will be very similar. A ls swap will cost at the most half what a stout 408 build will cost.

With a 408 swap or just for better performance in general, I would want a better k member so i can't say that a k member is required only for a ls swap.

A stronger transmission will be required for a 408 as well as a ls swap. The same can be said about a lot of other things that are required for either swap.

But yeah, let me know what point I missed. Thx and I am totally not trying to be a smart ass.

I was surprised in the difference they made, I can tell you that much. From the research I did I found these tires were my best bet for all of the street driving I'll be doing as far as tire life and traction combined goes.

Ha ha, you'll see the light one day.... either that or you'll just walk around all pissed off that you spent a zillion bucks on a sweater ford power plant. Who knows, maybe the coyote will catch on like the ls did. the main beauty of the ls is that it is in all sorts of gm products - readily available for the picking. the same can't be said for 4v, termi and coyote.
