The date on your slip shows 01/01/2002. I think that they may need to fix that. Do you have any videos of the car making a pass?

internet police are here... watch out Gruca.
No, just thought it was funny. I wanted to see the video because I think the new 5.0s with a blower sound damn good. I wasnt asking for proof. Just like to see cars make passes at the track.
No videos. US41 in Indiana never changes the dates. Every time I’ve gone the slip has that date on it.
I bought a Garmin dash cam 45 a couple months ago and it just stopped turning on for some reason. I sent it to Garmin and they sent me a new one. Same thing happened again. So based on my experience, Garmin sucks.
Well crap. Go pro
Car sounds like a lot of fun too. Keep at it and the ET will get better.

It WAS a lot of fun lol. Now I’m pulling the engine because that run was my last full one before oil starvation occurred...

Just think of how the car will feel with a 3.33 or smaller while revving to 7800....
Gonna be beast.
The 3.33 pulley is on there already, just wastegated at 11psi.
Now I need to research how much psi a 3.33 creates without the wastegate.
Did it kill the oil pump?It WAS a lot of fun lol. Now I’m pulling the engine because that run was my last full one before oil starvation occurred...
Oil starvation is bad news. Sorry to hear that.
If you do happen to have to go with the 2015 short block, is it a direct swap? Or is that when the whole timing chains & cams have to be mixed & matched?

Pretty sure I killed the oil pump gear when I let off at the end of my last run.
I replied to this but inside the quote on accident...so here’s what I meant to post:
I believe that the 2015 short block can be used with the 11-14 heads and you should be good. You'd have to change the crankshaft sprocket from the 15+ to the 11-14.

Hopefully it didn't hurt too much else....keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Finally started taking it apart today. I’m not too far off from pulling the engine. Once I drop the trans tomorrow, I should be ready.
Keep us posted, been following your build since before I added my own blower & looking foward to seeing it running again. Guess I better start saving up for that 15+ short block too

i think we all push our luck in different ways , .... for me on 11-14 stock block opg and sprocket is a must on a healthy motor if you want more than just 50/50 ...and cap it in the 7s on e85 ?.... haha idk thats what i did 3k in and no boom yet lol
I just need to build something to attach the chain to on top of the engine in order to pull this thing. Once I figure that out, I can start tearing this engine apart.
So far the block has no exterior damage (which I was already pretty sure was the case) and there was no metal in the oil when I drained it.
