this is my buddys engine that made like 500hp, his crank broke in 3 places when he sprayed it for the first time... it went 11.20s all motor with a crappy tune, but anyway this is what happens when you don't have a dart block or something

it was a 300$ 3.85 stroke crank, he knew it was a time bomb but didnt seem to care, the crank ws rated for 550HP, but i think he was a hare over that with the motor.

Ya...i hear ya Quik....terminator motors with 1000rwhp on stock bottom ends is pretty embarrassing for FoMoCo. They should just give everybody refunds!!

BTW: I hear Chevy is offering incentives for all LS1 owners to purchase oil at reduced pricing since they use so much of it. :biglaugh:

it was a 351w block and the harmonic balancer came apart and that is what caused it and yes it was worth it :goodidea:

I have seen a few people ruin motors and trannys because of cheap balancers with rubber.

Thank ford for the mod motor, what other factory block can you buy for 300.00 that can handle 1200+ HP. :biglaugh:

Not all are. The Steeda one I am using is not. Hell Summit sells a 28oz external balance SFI unit for $117. I think I would have issues paying so cheaply for something so critical.
