My D1 Procharged 306 wasnt very streetable, but could have been made to be with a burned chip and dyno time. It never idled and if I ever did it again would avoid the FMU.
but with Twisted Wedge heads E303 cam Track Heat intake, 70MM tbody and of course the Procharger @ 9psi intake took me to over 120mph in the 1/4 mile.
Enough bashing on DSS, my old 306 was made by them and now the 408. I have never had any problems with the motors and the 306 worked flawless, until I put boost to it. As many times as the 306 saw high RPMS and then drove probably close to 40,000 miles. Before melting the pistons the motor was still as clean as could be and used no oil.
I havent started the 408 yet. Was supposed to get it in the new car last week, but problems with the heads meant I had to take them off and send them back to Kentucky to get worked on again.
Hopefully I can get them back and start it up in 2 weeks.
Heres a couple guys I know who run stock shortblocks and abuse them a lot, plus they are 100% streetable. The 1st one has his wife drive it quite a bit around town and such, its a nice old ladys car.
