5.7 HEMI Vs. 408 Stroker

I built an Eddy headed 408 for my 68 notch, and I can tell you that the difference from my 380 horse 360 crate and 408 are unbelievable. At 95 degrees and my horrible tuning skills as I'm a novice, I went 12.1 @113 without effort. Now that I know to remove the huge coil springs from my MSD and replace with the lighter springs, and run a larger carb, I should be into the 11's with ease. That was also with a mismatching throttle cable and only 3/4 throttle!!!!! This is a pump gas street car by the way. At the Mopar Nats I kicked big block *** all day long in the steet classes. I have an 09 Challenger SRT8 6speed on the way, but I don't think it will hold a candle to the 408 on the track. On the highway, yeah, it may be a different story. But you can't go wrong with the 408. Just my .02.
