I LIKE THIS POST. I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY 1 THAT DID THE "DUMMY". I HAVE AN 89 MUSTANG NOTCH THAT I TOOK A STOCK 5.3 AND CHANGED THE VALVE SPRINGS AND SLAMMED A 640 LIFT TURBO CAM AND AN ON3PERFORMANCE 70MM TURBO BLOW-THRU CSU AND EVEN LEFT THE 373 GEAR IN. THE CAR AT 8lbs RAN 11:40'S AT 118. THEN 1 DAY TOWARD THE END OF THE SEASON I DECIDED TO LEFT THE WASTEGATE WIDE OPEN..... CAR FREAKN FLEWWWWW!!!!! IN THE PROCESS I MELTED A PISTON AND CRACKED 2 MORE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FORGING THE INTERNALS AND RUNNING STOCK CRANK WITH ARP BOLTS AND BIGGER TURBO. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF PISTONS TO RUN. NO TO WISECO. I WAS THINKN MAHLE. ANY IDEAS...?

Awesome thread, it would have been really cool to see of all thoes broken ringlands how many were caused by having the rear vents blocked off. I was shocked to learn about the rear vent blocking causing such reduced reliability and still being done, probably the #1 biggest most preventable blow cause
I am in the process of gathering parts for a supercharger build for a c5 with 189k miles on it.
We plan on replacing all the essentials, such as the timing gear, chain, oil pump, valve springs, injectors, hoses, plugs...
What else should i think about? The car has been babied its whole life, and wont be spun over 4500 rpms.
