LQ9 Stock long block + PT88 Turbo 6.32 @ 109.55 R.I.P.
LQ9 stock long block.
You will be missed.
4/9/09-8/21/09
But before she let go, she put down a strong 1/8 mile.
1.38 60'
4.08 330'
6.32 1/8
109.55 MPH
3900# Race weight.
The bad news is that atleast one rod let go and broke the block. Probably wasted the oil pan also. I just hope that nothing went thru the turbo. I'll take a look at it in the next few days and post up the carnage to close out the thread.
Video coming soon hopefully.

To be honest, not sure. This is the same converter that I have had since I put the TH350 transmission in 2 1/2 yrs ago. It has been with me since I had the 408 w/ the spray. I just call Greg over at FTI, tell him what I did to the car, what the car is doing, what I want the car to do, ship him the converter and 3-4 days later, the converter does what I want it to do. Haven't seen a bill from them in years. All my wheelie's are due in part to FTI.

That's the vid from the failure? Sure didn't look too bad...
Looking to go LQ4 from my current LS6 w/a PT88. I've been following your car for awhile. Would really love to know what caused the LQ9 to fail.

I know it's an older thread, but wanted to ask a question about the LQ9 engine that let go. Was this a stock cam? How much timing did you run?
I'm working on a similar setup, just an lq4 (which I believe the LQ4 & 9 share the same stock cam specs).
