New 408.......no bottom end
Okay guys here goes......
Just finished putting together what I hoped was going to be a torque monster, between speaking to Hughes, Comp, and a few engine builders this should have been making power off idle.
What I am finding out is I have a truck that seems gutless until about 3000 rpm then it becomes a screamer for sure.
Definitely not what I had intended for my full size Ram.
I got my combination off somehow, probably too many chefs in the kitchen during my build:
53x55 FB Throttle Body
Hughes Airgap minor casting cleanup port job
2.02 RT Heads, ported with Hughes 1110 Valve Springs
KB 356 pistons 9.3:1 compression
Eagle I Beam forged rods
Eagle 4" crank forged
Edelbrock headers
Comp Cam 224/230 .536/.544 camshaft 114 LSA installed on a 112 centerline
Factory Stamped Rockers
At this point, what options do I have? Higher Stall, Boost, Cam and Intake Swap?
Admittedly I have yet to get it tuned but the truck runs and idles great aside from the off the line lackluster performance.
I plan to get the exhaust done and a Wideband put in within the next two weeks and then schedule a dyno tune to see what's going on.
Thanks!
Thomas
