Hey if you're gonna blow up your block that is certainly the way to do it.

Build a 454 or 500 cid LSX!

Yeah, it's pretty much nonexistant lol. Second is pretty damn short too, It's pretty much all 3rd hence the bouncing off the limiter at the end of the 1/4. I'm hoping a th400 and new torque converter will help the combo out quite a bit.

do you have full specs on your setup, I think that we are going to be pretty close to the same setup. Except I am already running a 400 and I am on a couple smaller pulleys. I don't think that I am going to spin that high though but we will see. What cam were you running. But I already have a built block ready when this one Go's.

Great job and great times. I can not wait to see what you do next!

Thanks. The cam was a F14 232/234 .598/.598 112lsa. I might run it with my new set-up but havn't decided yet.

That had to make one hell of mess of the track. One of those hour long cleanups...

I have never seen a block with that kind of damage before. Good one. Good excuse to build a new setup though.

I'm with Kurt on this one. My block looked exactly like that after a rod let go and left through the oil pan at 150 mph. That was stock block with 20 lbs of boost and 8300 rpm's with stock oiling system (not smart).

Can i ask why were you spinning your motor that fast anyways?
I am looking to do a turbo also on a forged 347, and my limiter is going to be set at 7000, most likely less.

I wanted to go fast rather than be able to pull out tree stumps. lol

Life doesn't even begin until 7500. Honestly though to make a small motor work it needs to rev. You can still make tons of power but you're leaving something on the table if you limit yourself to 7k. Torque per unit time.

I originally didn't want to go past 6500 but with my set-up I was running out of gear at the end of the 1/4. I already changed gears from 4.11s to 3.73s and couldn't go any more without loosing my spool. I also upped my tires to 28s and couldn't go any larger without cutting the bumper. So my only option was to spin it higher. Last time out I had the limiter at 6900 and it bounced off it at the end of the 1/4 so I had to let out. This time I bumped it up to 7250. My first pass I tripped the beam before I took off so I didn't get a good time but I trapped 138, it was easily a 9 second pass. I would have packed up and went home. Instead I had to try one more time. Got a 10.10 but only trapped 133 because it blew before the finish line, I was really bummed. I wouldn't of cared too much about the engine if I would of got my 9 second pass but it blew too early and got me another 10. With the new set-up I guess I'll have to shoot for 8s because 9s should be easy.

Just realized you weren't talking to me. I'll leave my reasoning anyway. 8300, yeah thats really high, I'm not sure how high I'll spin the new 408.
