Fastest 4.8L???
#11
those are some killer times. I would suggest changing rod bolts. We had a casuality with a 5.3 with loose rod bolts. He pulled the pan after it blew, and all the rod bolts were loose. Mabey a week point finally coming out.... But, i would be there with ya, but i can't go fast anymore cause i don't need to shatter another drive shaft....

there's a local guy here in SA, TX that has you beat, he runs a 4.8 in his '00 rc and a 200shot NOS.
After my tune and setting everything up he ran a
12.34 in the 1/4, i'll get back with the mph , i can't seem to remember it.

if you want to upgrade your bottom end put a ls6 crank in it, you can get them pretty cheap as take-off's from people that stroke there vettes. the only difference between the 4.8 and 5.3 liter is the stroke. so you would be kinda dumb not change out those parts, you would still be smaller than the 5.4 fords. and it would be like free power as you could use stock components.
