My 408!!!

JONJON · February 28th, 2008, 05:03 PM

I lucked out on a 408 the other day from coast high performance.It was brand new all forged f4 for $1500 I was going with an engine from woody but ran into this deal I couldnt refuse.I am running RHS 215cc heads that woody had and I am stuck between a solid roller or hydro roller.What kind of power difference will I see?I am leaning heavy to hydro because it is easier on the maintenance.I will have to run race fuel because it will have like 12 to 1 compression.It has flat top pistons and the heads have a 58cc chamber.I will post pics soon.

i would have went with some dish pistons to get the compression down a lil but that is a damn good deal

compression = horse power

just like boost = horse power

Tight lash street solid roller. Make sure your cam grinder knows your combo is at 12:1 compression.
