I ran 10.6 with a 370 and 225 shot in an extended cab. Don't know what truck you have but a 408 with a 200 shot has the capability to go low 10s easy.. And a helluva lot cheaper than going turbo.

 

Did you ever make a pass without sprayin with the setup you got?

 

Nope.. It'll be a turd considering its setup to run on nitrous and not on motor..

 

Thats mine^

And yeah turbo is expensive, My cousin did 10.5_ @ ??? With turbo 5.3 stock bottom end
He said it was about a 7k when it was all done

And even tho its better to have an N/A setup or a nitrous set up,
I would like to run both.. And I mostly race in Mexico ( If you know what I mean ) So I want a top end setup, But well thats after I make up my mind on what to do lol
I love the turbo sound but In the research i've done 370ci is best for turbo.. But doing an estimate [IMO] thats around a 8-10k build.. and building a 408 or 415ci with a 200 shot i'll probably have the same hp/traxk times.. And I doubt i'll spend more thsn 6k? Or will I? lol

 

Well i guess that would be the good thing about being boosted. Forced induction vs. nitrous has always been the big arguement. What is you opinion on 408ci vs. 370ci and why?

 

I'm guessing your asking me..

I really don't have an opinion on neither just that a 370 is better for boost than a 408[ or so i've read & heard ]
And I personally like both nos & boost.. But well like they previously said nos is cheaper than turbo..
But I still cant decide on what route to go

 

But on the contrary in boost you could drive around with 500hp & tune it later with more psi for 700hp ( Example i really have no idea how many hp it'll have)

 

haha yeah well i was kinda asking both jw why dirttrackracer is running a 370 with n2o. I think his truck is called the white snail i have seen a couple vids of his truck running impressive especially for a ecsb.

 

My 370 with stock l92 heads with a Vic jr intake made 455 on motor and 670 on 7 cylinders, had an injector wire I had pulled out out of the butt connectors as we were checkin plugs.. That's with a used $275 nitrous kit..

I went with the 370 just because it was cheaper, I can make the power of a 408 on nitrous with a $10 set of jets vs $1000 crank shaft.

 

well from my experience i had a 376ci with a tvs2300 running 11psi it had the exact same power as my 416ci running 9#'s i had a smaller cam in the 416, theres no replacement for displacement which still applies even if people with 4.8's, 5.3's and stock 6.0's make lots of power with boost u can make even more with bigger cubic inches its all about how much u wanna spend but to long story short u can reach the goal of 800 or 900hp with a smaller engine like a 370 compared to a 416 which will require boosting it more.
