Here is a quick video I took because I have been so busy as of late. I double checked my logs and this is running on the only spring I have for the gate. It is reaching a 140kpa so I belive that is about 5-6lbs of boost. It feels really good for low boost. I am now ready to get a boost controller and turn it up. Is it best to buy a electronic or just a manual? I did end up hitting the rev limiter a couple times I was watching to many things and not paying attention lol. It should crank pretty good with another 10lbs!

Started out as a nice cruise. Stopped and filled a little e85.

Then It turned into a mess!

Found this about 200 yards from the boom site.

Piston is wedged in #3 sideways, hole in both sides of block, looked as if the rod bolt just let go and it was all down hill from there.

Sorry to see that happen. I do have a 2000LS1 block and stock crank in pefrect condition to put a set of good rods and pistons in to make a solid short block I am asking $500 for both. Later

This all happened on only 7lbs, at 6800. It looks like the rod bolt snapped on one side and then it wanted out. I knew it was going to happen just didn't think it was going to happen so quick. Maybe a torque mess up? Not really sure. So sounds like the best bet is a 370 short block. Don't know if I should build one, buy one, new, used? Just looking to get it up and running on a short block that will handle 20lbs and have fun. What kind of money do you think a person is looking at to get something of my description?

Just a little update, I have been so busy as of late. But anyway I did find a really nice complete lq9 long block. So Its all tore down and I have an appointment with my engine builder at the end of this month. It will be a 370 with CP forged pistons, Callies rods, Martin from Tick sent me a custom spec'd cam, comp lifters, 317 heads, BT dual springs, stock crank, It will have ARP head studs again with ls9 gaskets, That should get me a little further then the last setup. All parts are here just waiting on builder. I will try and keep it updated as it goes. Happy Friday everyone!![Cheers!!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cheers.gif)
