Jayson @ MTI already has all the parts needed for the motor :D:D:D They will be putting everything together over the next week or two. :cheers:

I'm still don't know how I want to do my second fuel system for the nitrous yet. I'm trying to decide whether to put a separate fuel cell in the rear, or move the battery to the back and put the fuel cell there.

:cheers:

Move the battery.... and place a 1 gal fuel cell. I came up with this idea 3 months ago. I would love to see it in action.

The motor should makes around 480-490rwhp/tq range. I'm not very big into drag racing and just refuse to put ET street or slick tires on my car. So I'll be happy with low 11's on street tire.

If I wanted a 1/4 mile track car, I would have gone with the 422 aluminum block stroker /w 150shot and solid roller. My intention with this 408 iron block /w gas is to compete with a few single turbo Supras around here in Houston. In a year or two, when they have a solid single turbo kit for the C5 (around the $6-7K range), I will tear this motor down to drop the compression and get it rebuilt for boost application. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

What cam are you going to use in your 408!??? Trying to descide on a cam for mine.You go solid or Hydro?
It will be hydraulic roller with the MTI R1 cam 232 237 .560 .560 114. Remember, this will be my daily driver so I definitely do not want it to idle like a dragster. I can always swap out the cam down the road when I want to get another car for the daily driver. :cheers:

With this route, I'm concern about the safety of having a fuel cell right next to the motor. It would be really nasty if the car gets into some type of accidents on the front. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: I hope my insurance agent doesn't surf this forum. :lol: :lol: :lol:
