I need to see your car one day! Curious about how you did the fuel pump setup. My little Aeromotive 340 pump isn't holding pressure w/ my 650hp : )

Im home all week if you get bored. My fuel setup is pretty haggard, like everything else.

Plus Thursday night im taking my firebird along with my buddys 4.8 on3 firebird to Lakeland. Instead of dynoing my car first im just going to tune it at the track. So it may not even make a full pass

Well looks like I'm gonna go the Ingole route. Junkyard 5.3
Just with nitrous instead.

Pulled the head off my week old lq9 with ported 706 heads, btr stage 4 cam, and ported ls2 intake.
The piston and rod in cyl #6 are in a bagillion pieces in the oil pan

Cam still looks good so I plan on throwing it in the 5.3. When everything came apart it took out the passenger side head. So I'll have to port another set for the new to me motor.

200+ shot or bust!

I'll post pics of the carnage when I get to the computer

Any ideas yet what caused it or haven't you got it torn down that far yet?

Theory is either the rod was already weak, or got water in the cylinder. Really no way to tell.

Now I'll just forge and stroke it!

If anybody here in the Lakeland area is looking for automotive work there is a tech opening at Regal on the north side for Honda/Acura. Send me a pm on who to contact if interested. FYI there are rarely openings on the Honda/Acura side. Good pay, good employer, you can turn good hrs too, I've turned over 50 in the past 3 days, Wed-Thur-Fri
