M1 or Port-Matched LD4B on 408

Mine is a 68 Valiant V100 2dr Sedan, full interior except front bench (one racing seat at the track instead), full weight (has got a roll bar and subframe connectors, too). Engine is a cast crank 408 with KB 356 hypers, around 10:1 with cnc´d procomps, ede Victor intake and the Sniper EFI, 248/248° hydraulic roller cam around .620" Lift, 113° LSA. It ran 11.38 in this condition…..but ran 11.40 before with a shelf cam (comp XR286HR-10), ede Performer rpm intake, 750 carb and Indy X-Heads.....so far no significant improvement to me. I suspect the cam, it seems not to like the LSA, so i´m going back to a shelf cam (Lunati Voodo 243/251° / .600" Lift, 110° LSA) to see if it´s faster. And i bought a "real" converter now, a PTC 8" made for my car…...definitely wanna get this 10.99 timeslip ;-)

Michael, that is awesome brother! Now that’s layin out the indoy! Dang! Yea!
Best of luck with the combo!


I would think so too. When tuned properly, EFI "adds" more off idle and low end than you expect.

Case in point: I ran this giant M1 single with multiport on a 9:1 360 Magnum in my Duster.

When i installed a Comp XE274H cam [230 int./236 exh .520/.522] I was concerned it would be a dog off the line with the huge plenum, adapter and 950cfm throttle body since the Duster was Rocking 3:21 and 9" wide 28" tall tires. lol those worries ended quickly. Stone cold I could fire it up, back out of the driveway and lay a 20ft patch a 1/4 throttle. lol

Thanks! This is the real world experience I and the OP certainly needed to hear. That is awesome.
You don’t, by chance, have any time slips of the before and after would you?
Oh! Great picture as well! Nice!
