That sucks and this is what scares me about running this much power. I really can't afford a scenario like this, lol.

I don't know if it was directly power related.We will all know soon enough when I tear it apart.

But ya if you can't afford a new engine dont go nuts with your car.

Post up your findings if you don't mind. It's not that I can't afford it just don't want to put out $5000 again for a forged shortblock but if I get 6 or so years out of it like you did I'll be fine with that.

Damn that sucks at least you got a few miles out of it but, I'm sure you were hoping for many more!

I have a few questions for you. How many miles have you been beating that 4l65e at 8-900+hp? I ask because I have a rpm LVL 6 RPM trans and was nervous about throwing more then 700rwhp at it, but maybe it can take it?

And 2nd what does your fuel system consist of? I have been trying to decide what to do, but I didn't want to go away from stock lines or rails just yet.

Anyway good luck with the build I will be keeping up with it!

Ya for sure. A new video is coming soon with the engine taken apart and I will show you guys the official diagnosis.

I was hoping to go further but I can't be mad. I really beat on this setup for a long time and didn't have to fix much of anything.

I trans was built in 2010. By the end of 2013 after 3 years of 750-900whp it finally started to slip going 2-3. But only at the track with sticky tires at 20psi boost.I actually got busy with having kids and didnt fix it until 2016. I still drove the car about 3k miles a year. It wasn't a catastrophic failure by any means. Still beat on it all the time on the highway and everything.

Rpm from what ive seen is like Finishline where I had my built. Its a quality place that puts out some of the best. I wouldn't worry especially with all the updates that have come out after 2010. Like my current version level 7 is way stronger.

Not to go nuts pimping out my channel but I give a really nice and quick run down of whats done to the car in this video including the fuel system. Check it out. You can also see the car running 9s in 2016.
