define serious. you can build a 408 LSx motor and put a power adder and go 9s easily.

i talkin low 8s but the 9s are more than welcome but let me ask you this i know it would be easier to go with the fuel injection in the late model f-bodies but would a carb setup be better to have with the nitrous

the heavy hitters are using victor jr FI intakes. this guy plans on 8s when the motor is done this year.

take a 6.0L motor from a truck, add a 4.00 stroke crank with some 6.125" long rods and you have a 408. if you want one already built, check scoggin dickey for their aluminum 402 shortblock.
