Ok is this better for you?

IMO Op gets what he deserves......

He has a boost gauge showing 15 lbs, simply ignores it:shrug:
No fuel system and still thinks he doesn't need one:shrug:
He compares a coyote boost levels with a trinity:shrug:
Then he calls nitrous NOS:bash:

He has a boost gauge showing 15 lbs, simply ignores it:shrug: As he stated, he knew he was on borrowed time, he was hoping he could make it to tax time to build it.
No fuel system and still thinks he doesn't need one:shrug: He says he is going to stay on 91 because there isnt any Pump E85 around. He drives his car so buying barrels at a time is not very reasonable
He compares a coyote boost levels with a trinity:shrug: How so, he said that people were porting the TVS gaining boost, To me he was saying he could do that and gain more boost.
Then he calls nitrous NOS:bash: Grow up... making fun of him for that is like making fun of someone for saying "google it"... NOS is the most well known brand for nitrous.

People get all bent outta shape with things said on the internet...

Your reply to the fuel system is a misunderstanding. We don't care what fuel he is running. He is going to be unable to get enough fuel to the motor for the power level he is shooting for.

Here in Colorado, you can get 700+ SAE hp WITHOUT a BAP... a BAP is only needed with E85.... so thats what im goin on... im assuming he is going to be getting/has a BAP and with that on regular Pump gas he shouldnt need a fuel system... Should he probably get one.. YES.... but thats doesnt mean he has to...

So your gonna invest all the money and depend on a BAP for you fuel delivery?

Plus this is what the guy said....
Maybe but I will do it right the first time. When you build the bottom end with forged rods & pistons the stock sleeves are the weak point. I plan on porting the TVS & running 20-22lbs of boost with it & cams. Plus running a Alky Control 100% methanol injection system. So the power should be up there. Might even throw some NOS after the build just to she want she will put down.

First your opinion means as much to me as mine does to you
How did I ignore my boost gauge, if I ignored it I wouldn't know it was showing 15lbs now would I, as I said me & my tuner knew we were pushing it
My fuel system( stock pump with wire upgrade/BAP/72lb Injectors) duty cycle is fine on 93 pump at 13* timing, now I dont know everything but I think this fuel system with a two nozzle meth injection system in the lower intake that spray on boost only would give me plenty of fuel, but I not 100% on that
I never compared the two different engines, I probably could have worded it better, trying to say the Shelby guys have overspun the TVS with no problems, you know the same blower I have if its not beat to hell now, & I have seen a ported overspun TVS make more power than a 2.9 Whipple at the same boost
I think everyone knows what I meant when I said NOS, sorry I don't like to spell everything out

I'm sorry I call it as I see it and all these "my engine blew" threads are becoming a dime a dozen, comically to me.

Someone's always pushing the limits on a BAP, motor goes, and now there left on the side of the road with no money to build. I'm sure once you get it back together finally will see another thread like this saying I wish I would have invested in a fuel system.

A BAP is just a band-aid for fuel delivery,it's been proven to cause problems to the stock pump eventually, and when that happen's it usually results in the same occurrence you witnessed today. Do what you want amd I'm sure this isn't your first rodeo but it is for some. This can be a listen learned for them if you don't want to learn from it. You won't hear anymore from me in this thread but I will say "I told you so" when you make that other thread if you don't invest in a fuel system. :beer:

+1 on the fuel system. It's really not that expensive relative to your plans for the car, and the peace of mind is worthwhile.

Took the intake off the throttle body. There is oil & metal in the elbow. I'm pretty sure the whole motor is toast. Might get lucky & salvage the heads & crank but I doubt it.

At this point it might be more cost effective just to get a long block already assembled like the MMR boss or Aluminator..

Livernois are awesome but too expensive imo.

Post more pics when you can..

Not a bad way to spend 10 grand

Heads can probably be repaired by machine / engine shop the stock crank is forged and you can pick up a new one for 3-400$ range, the blower should be able to be cleaned out but the blower & intercooler would be my main concern at this point. New complete shortblock repair heads and 50/50 chance just disassemble and clean blower & intercooler will work

So more than likely metal got in the blower?
Yes metal went through the blower, found pieces in the elbow by the throttle body, maybe it can be repaired

Yes at this point its looking like a long block form MMR
