cleansss20 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Threw a rod in my SS. Picked up a 408 block for $700. Anybody got any suggestions on what pistons, crank, and rods to get for boost? I have a P1sc procharger with about 8-10# of boost at the moment. I haven't decided yet if i want to change heads. What would be a good boost cam? So cam, intake, and roatating assembly if you had to choose for your truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdavid0412 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I'm using Diamond FI pistons in my 370. That P1 is going to make boost but it won't be much on a 408. Probably be better with an F1 or a turbo setup if you're staying FI. All motor setups are good too. Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 My callies rods/crank and weisco piston setup has been very tough. Dont spin a stroker to the moon and make sure the tune is good and it will live fine before you start lifting the heads around 1000rwhp.
