Yeah, 6800-7000rpm's with stock pistons will eventually end badly and a broken piston will tend to ruin your day. Glad the crank/rods/block seem to be ok.

Lol, that's the bonus with driving for work, I drive all over and I see all kinds of stuff and of course make fun of all the stupid drivers

Hey, do you guys know where I should go to have drivelines built? I'm willing to travel, but closer to Salem would be better. I'm going to need my rear shortened and my front lengthened.

I had my motorhome driveline done at Driveline Service Inc. in Portland. They did a great job and seem to know what they are doing.

word travels fast I havent even got the car back yet lol.

560rwhp

500 rwtq

need a fuel pump. car is running out of fuel at 6800-7000.

Ill have Tom install one around spring time when I have him do the rear diff.

Im VERY happy. I was hoping between 525-550rwhp. then remember mustang dynos "dyno less" so was hoping for around 530. when he called me saying it did 560, i was really happy

Waiting for the dyno graph then ill post it up here and in the dyno section. i think the final numbers were 558 and 497.

btw, I have the lingenfelter 100mm MAF forsale if anyone wants it. $150. Between that, and the 100mm Tb and the air bridge, it wouldnt fit, so Tom went with a LS7 maf. So if any of you guys want it for an Fbody, ill cut you a deal
