    This thing to drive is just amazing. The torque down low is just rediculous. On the dyno without the converer locked it spikes the torque reading to 480+ ever pass. Once I get the time to finish it I'll post up some dyno numbers. For the average guy I have no idea why someone would do a blower. This short block in an SSS with a converter, headers, good intake, 90mm or larger throttle body, exhaust, etc would have no problem running 12's and still drive around more civilized than stock with as good or better milage. As anyone will tell you an n/a motor dialed in and built correctly should be dead reliable without the worries that come with a boosted motor. Even more if you do it yourself it can be done for less than the cost of a blower. One of the things I hope people learn from this build is that a 408 is a reasonable price upgrade that doesn't need everything bolted to it at one time. Most have this picture in their mind that if they build a 408 it needs to have the best heads, intake, headers, etc, etc, etc. Build the shortblock even if you don't have the money for the the heads and other fancy crap. You can swap heads, cams, exhaust, transmissions, etc. in a weekend but you need the good shortblock to bolt it to. A truck like the Silverado SS or in this case a Tahoe is a vehicle with more weight than a 6.0L should have to push around (or in the cas of the Tahoe it came with a 5.3L). Having the 6.7L it pushes this much weight around like it's nothing even with the tall gear and stock converter. I've driven many vehicles with 402's, 403's, 408's, 416's, 427's, etc and they all make whatever they are in feel lightweight thanks to their 4" stroke.

     

    This has got my attention, can finally quit starving myself

  3. I traded my sss in a brand new ltz duramax in the same color red couldn't stand not having the ss turned around and bought it back still got the duramax and the sss will never part with it again couls barely stand not having it for the 2 weeks it was in the body i was up there almost everyday checking on it

    but keep the sss it will pay off in the future even if gm makes another ss truck

  4. Hey guys can't make up my mind whether to get corsa sport or a corsa touring exhaust, I'm in the process of finishing my 408 build and can't find a good enough video to make up my mind between the 2 if anybody has it on their truck with a 408ci or stock motor with start up/take offs and so on ..if you have vids please post

    Thanks for the help
