Honestly, it would be just as fast, if not a good bit faster than what I have now, both motor to motor, and spray to spray. You figure Evo went 10.5@128 with a 150 shot in a much heavier car, subtract ~500lbs from that and I have no doubt as long as the car hooks I could run bottom 10’s@130 or so. The crate engine is actually pretty well priced, its $6100, and to build a 408 the way I want would be WELL over that, closer to the 10-12K range. The streetability is really selling me as well. Being able to go to LG and get 25mpg, and have a quick car is really selling me.
I may just buy a '11 in the sprng instead though lol. Who knows.
