hey all

Thought id stop in and say howdy.

Im driving a '96 cc 4x4 with lots of mods. Last dyno was 420hp with stage 2 injectors and h2e turbo. Since then ive upgraded to stage 3 inj, had the turbo modifed, changed the fuel system a bit. Before i could hit the dyno again i bent a connecting rod, 2 push rods, 2 rocker arms, 2 lifters. Basically it was all caused by too high of rpms and too high of boost (45+ psi). Valves floated, contacted #4 piston then hydralocked bending the pushrods. The engine had 215k on the clock, with over 30 passes at the drag strip and lots of heavy towing, no suprise it finally broke lol. Engine is now out and getting a ton of new goodies. Should be 500+hp when it hits the road again.
