Say what? Holy shit that thing has got to be a monster. Traction problems much? Sick numbers man that is just ridiculous. So why'd you decide to rebuild the motor? Old one wasn't enough for you?  :P

ive got traction with the 615ks and the 3.55 gear, but i can definitely use more traction, if i cant maintain my falken partial sponsorship i think ill buy some toyos next. i rebuilt the motor cause i spun. jeff didnt like how i had low oil pressure after he did the heads but i always thought it was a crap sender or gauge. even bought a new sender, but it didnt read at all. id get 5-10psi on a good day back then. i convinced jeff its the gauge or sender since i always had it, and ran it anyway. one night ryne at cms invited me out to mess around with a few vettes. that night i over revved it and it finally let go. im surprised it lasted that long, i tracked it, autocrossed it, dynoed it, and drove it for for 2 years. anyway the same sender gets 30-60psi now after the rebuild.

Can't wait to drive this beast, 510whp on a Mustang dyno is a shit ton! 

About that old motor, yeah, it was really strange, didn't sound like rod knock but we couldn't isolate the sound to the top and didn't want to pull the motor out to check it.  Was really sad when it went... especially after Marcus put so much time/money/effort into it. 

Happy you're back on the road!  More pics of Liz doing car things!   :halo:

.....I cant stop looking at your dyno, especially your torque curve. I am jealous...so much you might have forced me to pull my engine this winter and rip apart for "Version 2.0"  build.  :cheers:

Lol thanks, but then you'll have to change your sig  :wave:

You can get a nice flat tq curve with a wide lsa, and make up the dynamic compression in the pistons. I origionally wanted to go 12:1 and 117 but I don't have the gas for it

Holy crap... that is some sick curves with numbers to match. Congrats man! Glad to see you got the car running again. I can't imagine what it feels like to drive a sub 3klbs 500+ hp car. Maybe next mod should be a neck brace?  :D
