yea it does suck. Thanks for the offer but that one is a little too much for me right now. Im sure its worth every penny and I would like to have a stroker. I found a DSS promod shortblock for about $1700. Its got about 5k on it though. Im not sure still shopping but I think I will probably just buy a whole new shortblock instead of going through the process of building.

He should have got out of it after it went past 10psi. You can also use a air compressor to check and see how much psi it takes to open the wastegates.
yea I was thinking he probably should have gotten out of boost also. He waited until the wastegate opened up and complained he couldnt hear the motor. It did spool up fast though. It also looked like it was running like a bat out of hell when the boost came on. He said it only made 350whp when it broke and the torque was "way up there". Ill be taking it to either dynospeed or MPH with the new motor. Unfortunately I signed a little paper saying theyre not liable so im stuck....
