408 stroker.

Hooker Super Competition Headers
AFR 205's
TFS R-Series 351 Intake
Trick Flow Track Heat Cam
BBK 75mm Throttle Body
BBK Cold Air Intake
70mm MAF sensor
32lb./hr. injectors


Lower Control Arms
Upper Control Arms
Subframe Connectors

and some slicks.

just seeing what you guys estimate for hp and 1/4 times.
it's my future planned build.
also let me know if theres anything wrong with my combo haha.

im not going to have the money to stroke it right now, so im wondering how much power im gonna lose putting the 205's on a 351.
i eventually plan to stroke it to a 408 which will need 205's and i dont wanna go with 185's for now and have to sell them and buy 205's.
im also wondering if i plan to run 10psi, will the 408 stand up to that much boost?

thanks guys! maybe you can have some fun with this

its hard to estimate any numbers, with that build u could be at 500 hp or 600 hp its hard to say it all depends on what you do internally, if you go with high compression, and a bigger cam then that trickflow cam you will put out good numbers, i just dont think that trickflow cam does any justice on a build like that, a custom grind would be much better suited

since you want to run boost on the car I would try to keep the compression ratio about 9 to 1. Also why are you running a smaller MAF then your TB it should always be bigger then your tb so you dont get the bottle neck impact

1) Mass air needs to be bigger
2) Those injectors are NOT going to come close to cutting it
3) That cam is waaaaaaay to small. Definetly get a custom grind.

Also, dont forget about fuel pump, torque boxes, etc. etc. etc.

It really depends on how much boost you can run depending on how much power your 408W dishes out. Make sure you just take it to a reputable tuner. And like stanglx said, make sure your compression is right.
