Hey Allen,

Let me know what you are planning to do with your old injectors. I am not going turbo anytime soon but in the future I might so I will need larger injectors.

Chris

Someone already got them, haha, sorry about that.

I had 44lb'rs in there, bought the 60+lb injectors, trans started slipping, so then i decided on the entire rebuild, now i'll need to go bigger, maybe 80lb or so.

thanks,

allen

Just talked to the builder today, www.nickensracing.com , they'll have my engine done this friday! I had them take their time on it because my truck is completely apart, so there was no rush.
The engine is a 408, je pistons, forged everything, 230/228 cam, and all that other stuff hahah. The compression should work out to about 8.7:1 and I'll push quite a bit of boost through it!
Now it's on to the trans and all the other goodies!

I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Also, I'll be tuning a couple of 6.0L's with just a cam upgrade and tune. We'll see how those turn out. One will be a 224 cam and the other 228 cam, I expect about 450 from the engines. I'll take some vids to show you how good the idle quality is.

see ya online,

allen

How is 408 achieved? Is that a 6.0 bored & stroked?
