LOL the bar is always going higher and higher! I think the moral of the story is that when you push stuff to the edge, it always breaks. Don't expect it to do this or that, only expect it to break. Keep the tune good and you may very well get near 1000 horsepower. Or you could break at 600 LOL there are too many variables to se a hard limit. Very possible to have a weak part from the factory that will break at 400hp. The only things certain in life are taxes and your engine blowing up while trying to find the limit! ![Guns](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_guns.gif)

Well I finally got around to removing the 4.8.

Something is missing in the back cylinder...

Expected a lot worse

Both of the rods in the back cylinders (7&8) snapped. The rod bolts were still in tact. My cam got chewed up, hole in the block, pan was ruined, starter demolished, and my bogart wheel damaged.
It was fun to try but I wont be trying this again anytime soon.
Big thanks to Nitrous Express NX who without question replaced my fuel solenoid!

I hear the newer rods are quite a bit stronger.
