is it hardblocked at all?

 

This requires payment. I can't take this data in good conscious without paying you for it Aaron! haha you cease to amaze me. we'll be in touch!

 

I put it up, its free.

 

No only thing done to the block is 40 over and main studs.

 

yeah me too! i took about 8 pix of the car myself.
CLEAN set up!!!!!

 

Great looking car and impressive numbers! I am interested to see how it does at the track, good luck!

 

Great What will be numbers on straight pump gas 93?

 

i dont know this car will never be on pump gas, e85 is 5 mins. from my house and the car is not a daily

 

I'm sorry did i miss something important in the thread

 

lol well the motor let a rod go the other night .......still trying to find out what exactly what happened but rod broke right under the wrist pin on #2 piston.....atleast that what i can see through the window in my block lol.these were pauter x-beams btw

 

OMG ............................................. ..................

Very sorry to hear that!

What kind of pistons were being swung off those rods?

I know it's probably a tough time for you trying to figure out why things failed but do you mind if i ask when it let go?

On the dyno?

Racing?

What gear?

Etc?

Could it have been the tune being a bit agressive?

 

wow thats the first time ive heard of a pauter rod failing

 

There is no telling at this point if the rod failed or if it was a casualty of another failure.. I like to move to aluminum rods when we get around that HP level.. Could be the JE wrist pin failure though..

JE........thanks Mike

Always a pain to have to go through a destroyed motor to find the culprit if it's even possible

Good luck getting her up and running w/ a new bullet soon

 

just a street pull wasnt even high rpm around 6500-7000rpm.this was on j.e. pistons.the tune was very conservitive actually thats why i was surprised at the power it made.i was actually going to go back this week and see it i could get it close to the 800hp mark before this happened.ask away man we can all learn toghether!
