So I haven't updated this in a while have been dealing with issues all year. After about 250 miles on the new motor i noticed the oil pressure gauge bouncing at idle but under wot was great had 70+ oil pressure. Then after taking it for a test ride before the track got home and it idled around 20 and knew i didnt have much left. Took it to the track the next day mid pass looked at the gauge and had about 25psi WOT so threw it back on the trailer. Yanked the motor out to see the mains destroyed. Brought it back to the shop that built it and after 3 weeks they told me the crank was bent and cracked....The Crank in the motor was actually from the motor that made about 1050ish hp so in my opinion the crank was never checked before it actually went into this motor and was already on its way out. But either way just waiting for a couple fittings and my turbo to be sent back and i'll go at it again! This time around i got a fuel cell in the stock location, Holley Dominator 12-1800 pump -10 Line for e85 -8 return Y Feeding the rails and changed my seats from the Corbeaus (37lbs each) To the Kirkey's being 11lbs each so a total i've taken out about 175lbs so far.

Pretty awsome! 8's are just a little tweekin away.

 

Congrats on the times!!! That bad boy is rockin....

 

God dammit I love this car. Sorry about your motor troubles. Hope this motor lasts longer. At least it didn't spin the bearings. Did they have to align bore it or just drop a new crank in? Love the motor dog.

 

Cleanest welds I've seen anywhere!!!
