you blew your engine tracking it?

can you give us some more details? were you running race gas?
your psi was at 13 psi right?

you're running a T-trim on the stock block right?

yeah I didn't know you blew up pharmD. What all happened? broken ringland, spun crank bearing, or a hole through the block?

And you had 430hp/400tq at the crank or at the wheels?

hehe, forgot what I made... it was around 420hp/350tq at 10 psi to the wheel on DD with 22,XXX miles. Here's some pix










If u want more info on when I blew it up, u can find it here: https://my350z.com/forum/forced-induction/287103-eagle-rods-wiseco-pistons-need-advise.html

My new setup (BZM ) is almost complete but ran into a prblem with the blower and is currently at vortech getting repaired

oh wow, somehow I totally missed that thread so this is news to me. That really sucks I'm just now finding out about it

so there's 3 blown up vortechs between zzerotwosixty, deisel, and pharmD. Sounds like zzerotwosixty was having some problems with the engine before he put his vortech on, deisel's car was being pushed hard on the track it sounds like and probably just eventually let go since he is running a lot of power, and then Mr_pharmD's engine might have let go from either a weak engine (rod) from the start or maybe high temps somehow ganged up on that cylinder

I take it everyone was using 91 octane gas except maybe deisel?
