Season over! 3+ years of 500-700 whp and next to no maintenance did her in. We sure had a good run, but it's on to the next motor!
For the record, I was ahead

Rod failure. Looking at some built motors on various classifieds right now. G4CS long rod 2.4L is in the lead right now.

Im curious what converter your using?
For your new engine, try to pick something that can handle the RPM's so you can stay in 3rd

I always thought a long rod would be best for an auto

Long rod engine kick ass for high revving applications where late coming powerbands and high revs rule supreme!
I have a question and please don't take it offensive as i'm just curiouse based on my experieces with the 67mm turbo i'm running after 10+ years on a 57trim to4e. Do you find that late spooling powerband just to be a PITA in DD situations (or is it just plated but not really driven?)?
Also, is that time in your avatar your current best and is that with this turbo/HP numbers>? Just wondering if there's a point where having NOTHING below 5500RPM pays off on a DD/track duty car, seems like you ewither are really fast or suffering severely from the lag (i ran a 12.08 at 119 on a 19psi 57trim and a shat tune) not knocking jsut wondering if at the level your at would a broader rev range benefit more untill you're getting into say 9 second 1/4 miless

His profile says that the times were done using a s256 while the dyno numbers were on his latest set up.
OP, did you ever make it to the track on the 8875?

PI 9.5 billet with some ridiculous stall. If I remember right it's stalled the same as Kiggly's was at one point--meaning it's designed for around 9000 rpm.

If I get that long rod 2.4 I'll be sending the converter off to get it tightened up up top. Like I said earlier this converter would work amazing if I revved to 9000 (or OVER 9000!!!), but that's not in the cards unless I pick up a 2.0 instead. On the brakes the converter stalled to ~4500 RPM and 12 psi within 5-6 seconds with the old 2.3, so it probably wouldn't hurt too much to tighten it up with a 2.4.

Yeah, that wasn't the greatest time. The log showed I was off the throttle for a second and a half on the 1-2! I never got a chance to make it on the track with this setup. For what it's worth I was a couple bus lengths ahead of a solid axle 3.4 whipple Cobra on slicks when this happened... on a private property in Mexico.

Which part of the setup are you having second thoughts about? Mine is very similar except I'm using my manual tranny and one 400lph walbro fuel pump.
