finally making use of that paperweight huh. lol how long before the 408 is ready?

btw, it would be cool to see you have the quickest 6.0 and 4.8 time.

Long rod, short stroke motors at the best for boosting. Unfortunatly you have to put more boost to them to get the same torque that a long stroke motor.

this reminds me of putting on a temperary use only tire. much smaller than what belongs on there, but gets the job done.
