So your leaving the 1st stage a plate kit and changing the second to a DP?
Good luck with it!

Wayne,
The first stage will be the custom spray bars that Ricky developed and the second stage will be an NX DP. And for anyone interested, there will be a baddass NX plate available soon.
Brad - most race folks aren't looking for #'s on a dyno... it's a tuning tool. My own goal was to make sure that both kits together weren't going to cause a lean condition. Well, it definitely caused a condition - air conditioned heads

it would have been funner to test out the 2 stages and blow it up on your way to an 8 second pass. lol
i hate the dyno, i wont even drive on it. lol
good luck man, im hoping to get to east side this weekend maybe i will fill your frame with rocks to get the race weight up so i have a better chance. lol

That's the biggest shot I've ever heard someone try to run on a gen III. I guess you gotta push the limits sometimes, but this time it came back to bite you. Hopefully it's an easy fix and you can hit the track again soon enough. Good luck with the repairs.

I really do wish you good luck. I don't like to hear of anyone destroying their motors which is basically destroying $$$ that I'm sure you worked hard to earn. I do give you major kudos for trying to push the envelope, but sometimes you got to use some sense and you learned that the hard way. I hope you get it back together soon enough and are able to get out there and enjoy racing your car. If you can get that thing to take a 425+ shot without damage I'll be the first on here to congratulate you, not to mention you'll probably hit 8s.
Good Luck.

I haven't heard of anyone ever doing this on a Gen III. These motors have been out for a while, you think someone would have done this already if it was possible.

We use a mustang load dyno and have'nt had any problems so far.
Choppin was just messing with Noyzee

And then I would throw it on the dyno just to make sure everything was perfect, but i'm scared to put it back on, like I said, hit both stages and shook the tires and took out 2nd gear in my trans, it sucked!

exactly my piont, bragging about dyno numbers are in fact gay but using the dyno as a measuring and tuning tool is not so gay
