Definitely interested here because i'm days from arrival and wanted to order parts to be here waiting. I'm fairly certain theirs was not on n2obut a larger after market blower with more boost wouldn't surprise me. Anyways sorry for the luck boys and please be open to share with us.

You guys realize that if they did pop the motor, it was on race gas, high advanced timing and will have no correlation to your pump gas setups. With the higher CR and thinner cylinder walls, I don't see these blocks being boost friendly w/o being sleeved.

Believe it or not they were throwing everything at that motor to get it to blow, as they have a fully built one on the stand ready to go in. I'm
Sure it was running insane boost levels on race gas.

It will def be interesting to see how much boost and power they were pushing through it when it went pop.

The 5.8 Trinity has the same powder forged rods as the 5.4 Condor, and I am very curious as to its limits. The Ford GT 5.4 is good to 1,000 rwhp or more on stock internals, and I think the 5.8 Trinity motors realistic ceiling is ~ 800 rwhp.

Honestly with the rpm going up to 7000 now, im not even sure if 800rwhp is safe on 93 octane. My friends 11 has held together on 93 octane at 790rwhp for 33k miles but he only revs to 6k, and his tuner told him it wouldnt last long if he went to 6500 like he wanted to.

If you read in the other section, you see a lot of people mention that RPM is the killer on these motors. So it should be interesting to see how long these hold together with full bolt on's revving to 7k on street gas...
