Would a DOHC V8 fit in a 4th gen? As it is they have raise the hood just to get a LS1 in there. I think a 6 inch tall hood scoop might give it away. What does a 3800 badge look like?

you can put nos kit for like $600,00 installed Dynotune sells a kit for about 300.00 that gives you a quick 250hp ,if you put the tank in the trunk ,in mine I had the tank put right in plain sight ,gets alot of attention though,,you can get the extra selonoid that would push it to 450hp ,though I never threw more then 100hp at mine an It took it well ,most people I tell them I did not use it ,or it unhooked ,have not tried it on the 406 yet ,you can see the pics in my garage long tube headers they say are the best I got the 3 inch out pasetter,they sell nos kits that you can do everything from the drivers seat ,that you cheapest way to get power fast ,but in the long run does more damage to the engine ,over time

^^^ i want to do that and your right 406 anything over 100 most lt1s is not going to last long. could set up leaky exhaust and rig a switch to one of the injectors and make a cylinder miss. idea to make it sound as craby as possible.

I know your right ,its just an idea some guys just want to try try it ,not going to do it with my 406 not yet as the torq I got now feels great ,mabey I am settleing down ,or not ,,I don't want damage it ,I got to say just having the can visable ,I am kind the opposite of this guy ,but I may out run most stock lt1s now ,I don't want to race I just joke about it ,theres the track for raceing .an there everyone knows what you have ,that big car show seema ,I seen a Toyota camary that had like an ls7 with 1000 hp ,now that's a sleeper ,or that beetle from streetoutlaws ,I would never want a sleeper ,couse I don't underestimate anyone or try not to ,put 427 in it ,then the 3800 badges the only problem will be the sound
