EVILZ Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Alright, I am new to the site, and to the truck scene, I am looking right now for a rcsb silverado, as a SS would be a little pricey for me, here are my plans, feel free to comment and make suggestions. The numbers next to the mods are for stages of the build. Engine: 1)ms4, springs, forged push rods 2)2.8 or 2.6 L kb I have yet to get in touch with them 3)forged 408 with the ms4 Exhaust: 1) kooks f bod stainless headers, no cats, x pipe into dual super 44's, side exit Exterior: 1) belltech 4/6 in lowering kit 2) SS bumper cover, Goodmark 2.5 in cowl hood, roll pan, HID's 3) Wheels undecided, and suggestions?, Hard tonneau with speedsturr spoiler Interior: 1) Pioneer Avic head unit 2) dynomat, custom seats, and sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSS Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Dont know if the KB is what youre going to want on a 408. A lot of people dislike their external control module and have done away with it and gone with their own custom tune. Even then some people dislike the setup. I guess it all depends on what your goals are. You may want to go with better flowing headers also. The kooks are shorties right? You may want to look into a LT system especially if youre going the blown route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVILZ Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I am reffering to kooks long tubes, and KB= Kenne Bell... I would have no other choice than a custom tune anyway, that I thought was a given. Thanks for the input though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadowns Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 You will need the KB 2.8 for a 408, so get it on the front end. I am not sure the spec on the MS4 cam, but I don't think it is blower friendly. Also the Kooks headers may be ok, but with some extra work. I will be glad when Kooks comes out with truck headers for us all. CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVILZ Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I wasnt sure if the 2.8 would fit but I have since found out that it will so that is definitely the way to go. The MS4 cam is definitely not a "blower cam" it is acutally the exact opposite, this makes it a decent choice for a pd blower, that is a new trend startiing with the fbody maggie cars and some vette guys are catching on now too. The reason behind that is the pd blowers create more than enough tq down low, and decent hp up top, this cam actually hurts the low end tq a little and really makes a screamer up top. The ms4 specs are 239/242, .649"/.609" @ 112lsa, I agree with this school of thought for positive displacement blower applications, as there is really no need for more tq from a blower cam. I agree on the headers, when will either kooks or american racing come out with them.... ARGGGG!! Oh well I was told that these would fit without issue.

12'SROCK Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 INTERESTING..............i wanna see that cam on a dyno w/ FI and see the out come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVILZ Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 there is a maggied f body on ls1 tech that made 579rwhp with that cam on a mp112 and 7# I believe. I can't wait for RJW to try it in his vette, I have talked to him about it and he is considering it with his 3liter whipple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
