I feel for you. I blew my motor about 1k after forging it and building the car. Hopefully, that chapter will be over soon in the next few weeks and she will be running strong. Good luck.
ah, was just curious if there was a decent shop in the 'boro. Well, where do you plan on getting it tuned this time? Not trying to add any salt!! Just gathering info for my own eventual tune.

no its ok ive learned my lesson. Its going to nowhere but modular powerhouse in atlanta for all my future tunes. This shortblock is going to have to last me for a long time and I cant afford to have it screwed all up again. I hear that Mikes Speed Shop on broad street does pretty good work but theyre expensive. It was alot cheaper for me and took less time to just buy one already built.
ah, MPH is on my short list. How do you plan to get your car there?
well ill be driving it of course. It drove perfect untuned before it blew up on the dyno. Just cant get into boost at all which is really easy to do. The only thing that has changed is the compression ratio and ill be using stock cams for now.

If you decide you want to haul it down, I've got a truck and flatbed trailer. Just buy the gas..
Next time I would take it to Greg in Owensboro Ky. Speedy dyno has done a few very nice cars and I have yet to hear of 1 popping, Delk on the other hand has popped several just in the past few months!
cant wait to see the new numbers..
maybe you get to enjoy it this time
did u fix tranny to?
Yes I am sure that this time it will work out for me. I cant wait to finally drive it like its supposed to be driven instead of limping around town untuned. I have not fixed the tranny, but it will be good enough to get running again on. We are going to see how much hp the stock cams will make on 93 octane. If it runs like it did before it broke, im thinking it should make some pretty high numbers. On the very first pull it made 508wtq at only like 3300rpm without any tuning adjustments. It should have a super fat powerband and im hoping for around 600whp and some pretty wild torque numbers. The motor should be back together and in the car within a couple weeks.

They did real good on my previous 2 tunes I had done over there. After much talk about the whole thing im not putting the blame on them anymore for breaking it. I was pissed that it broke. But then again the wastegate was pushing over 15psi and it broke pretty much right as he went wot with it and didnt have time to back off. It spooled up pretty much instantly....The hellion kit is badass...
