Blew up the Boss!

[racerat]

Finally found the limits of the stock Boss motor. It lasted a lot longer than I expected. Car was making 870 rwhp on a Mustang dyno through the auto at 18psi (3.5" pulley.) Decided to throw on the 3.25 pulley and head to the track and that was all she wrote!

New L&M motor coming soon!

btw, the 1.47 60ft was accomplished with sway bar attached, 1500rpm launch, 2.73 gears, BMR UCA, LCAs and KW V3 coilovers setup for the street.

Well you knew it was a matter of time. RIP...or in pieces in this case.
Hope the new motor goes in smoothly..

Yeah, now I don't have to anticipate every week. LOL
Thanks! Hopefully the car will be back up and running in a month or so.

That's way better than oil all over the tires at 200mph which I probably would have done last week had I not broken the trans at 170mph. LOL
:lol:

When u get it apart can u let us know what let go?

 

[nonliberal]

Posted same thing as him. lol ^^^

 

[racerat]

Did you get a chance to take a look at it yet? Just curious what let go and if the heads survived unharmed?

Motor will come out later this week. Fingers crossed I didn't jack up the heads, but I'm not counting on it.

850rwhp is damn impressive for sure, think you'll shoot for 1000 with the new longblock?

 

[oldmodman]

Damned impressive result from a stock motor. :thumbsup:

And even more that you saved it and didn't get hurt.

I will be interested in your experience with L&M. They will probably be my builder of choice.

Tracy, do you still have your amazing blue Cobra? It's still the best looking Cobra ever:bowdown:

 

[grnenvy]

It always costs a lot more when u blow it up. For the guys on the edge fix it before it breaks.

No. Low 9s, 210mph in the mile is the goal. Not really a dyno# seeker.

Michael's motors are doing some amazing work in some of the fastest cars in the country. I know I'll be happy with the new build!
I do still have the Cobra. Looks like she might see some action now that the Boss is down for a little while. ;-)

Well the whole purpose of pushing this car was to find the edge. I have several boosted Boss customers who will benefit from this experiment. ;-)

Racerat my post wasn't for u I know u have that covered. It's just most guys just don't understand the $$ spent when fixing a bucket of bolts. Good luck with L/M they used to build all my old school 347s Mike is top notch.

 

[CobraTerritory]

That sure is impressive though. Can't wait to see whats next as far as motor / blower / turbo combo goes.

 

[Nasty500]

how long did it last at those levels
