    408 build

    My 4.8 is getting tired. Need a project for the winter... besides a 6.0 iron block, what do I need to build a 408 with around 11:1 cr, ready for nitrous.
    can I get away with using 862's ported with big valves? Or is there another head I should be looking at.... since this is going to be a N/A setup plus maybe a 150-200 shot, what sort of number will I be seeing?

    Thanks
    02 Sierra... motorless for now.
    02 SS.. stock bottom 4.8, 241's, 224-220/116+4, 918's and pushrods, front mount turbonetics 78mm, HKS GTII, TiAL, eBoost2, Yank PT3600, Performabuilt 60e, solid motor mounts. Tuned by me with HP Pro and LM2/AFX

    I'd look at a set of 243 (LS2/LS6) heads for that build.

    I have a post on here somewhere that details all the goods inside my HKE built 408ci engine.
