Ride along and WOT blast in new 408 coupe....

[MikeLTDLX]

I got this coupe this weekend. 408 stroker, C-4, Nitrous Pro-Flow kit, 4.10s. This was the second time I took it out. Still learning it, of course. You have to make that 1-2 shift pretty quick, LOL.

The action gets going around the 2:40 mark....

My first thought before watching was that car needs a stickshift.....but that does look pretty damn fun as is. :banana: Car sounds really good.

I am a gear jammer at heart. It would rock with a full faceplated TKO, but the auto is going to be quicker. My 2012 is a manual, so I still have that to play with.

sweet fox for sure, sounds healthy, and looks like it has great drivability for a 408 car. I read your descriptions. Sounds like the springs aren't right for the cam and it doesn't wanna spin over 6000. Either that or they are just done around there. Whats the top end combo?

and btw, running colder plugs wont cause a miss. It'll just be a hair slower.:beer:

If you watch the other video I have, it really sounds like an ignition miss. I thought it was valve float, but I don't think so. It has Canfield heads and a Super Victor with a Quick Fuel 850. Lift is around .610 with this cam.

LOL, I know.

Canfields and a super vic ftw! Valve float can def sound like an ignition miss, it can sound like a lot of things to be honest.
