The #'s are in!
Max power: 535.9 HP @5950 RPM
Max Torque: 544.6 ft-lbs. @4500 RPM
The tuner and I were both surprised to see the torque numbers higher than the HP. A good surprise I might add.
The car accelerates at an incredible rate has great street manners with little to no surging. We still have to fine tune the idle, the 102mm throttle body and a huge cam make it difficult. It looks like i can say "good bye" to fuel mileage. I expected it so its no surprise but it sure will be missed.
Overall I am highly pleased with the build and the outcome. The driving experience takes on another dimension with that kind of power on tap.
It is the iron block and from what I have seen others say who have weighed them it's 70lbs heavier.

Imagine a set of Turbo's on there and what the TQ numbers would be and at maybe 8 PSI of SAFE Boost too!

^ My garage is about 50ft from my neighbors bedroom wall so when I am taking home a date at midnight during the week im sure they have said a few choice words about me and the car. The H/C Ls6 was bad but this 408 is down right nasty sounding.
