I got the motor apart yesterday and came to find out, I actually bent ALL 6 rods And some shattered piston skirts. Just more proof I was on a stock block/rods

Definitely making some power, but I do think I started to bend 1 or 2 prior to the latest setup. Eitherway, I now know why my mph kept staying the same with bigger and bigger turbo's Hopefully next year I'll see 150mph + traps.

I'm starting the motor build over the next couple weeks. Some updates of what I'm doing

280 HKS cams (currently 264/272)
+1mm oversized valves
headwork
crower rods
arias pistons
SP tensioner
BL crank pulley
SP modded oil pump
and some other goodies.

Enjoy the pictures

mmmm horse power

 

ouch... that really sucks

 

Not so forged anymore haha. Glad to hear you're upgrading.

And please- stop raising the bar so high.

 

Chris, that is quite a feat, bending them all

 

holy crap!!! i mean what else is there to say

 

Can't wait to see what the car can do next season.

 

Sorry for the misfotune, glad it serves as an opportunity to make it better though!

You and SW are truly setting the standards around here

 

**** Chris, way to go down in style though lol.

Can't wait to see the new setup in TX. I checked out my lex last night and the IC piping is nearly done, just need the downpipe and wastegate dump tube. Now i gotta find a reasonablly priced AEM setup then we start her up.

 

Idrewfelix, Someone has to set the bar why not set it high With my baby coming end of this year, I'm sure my mods with slow a bit

Richie, when I'm given a task, go above and beyond!

soarer213, thank you for the kind words, that means a great deal to me.

I will not let down CL next season!!
