No one said oh well, we would like to examine the engine ourselves and see what failed or what the issue is ourselves. I warn all my customers that nothing is excempt from breaking when making high levels of power. Unfortunately you get to these extreme levels and things fail. Anyone that races whether drag racing/roadracing understands this. Unfortunately without having the opportunity to personally examine it you can only make assumptions, speculate. Everyone that knows me, knows that I only push setups when the customer asks me, purposely so they understand possible complications. ---

Everyone that knows me, knows that I only push setups when the customer asks me, purposely so they understand possible complications. correct me if im wrong but when you build a motor for 1000whp and you make 931whp on the dyno **ONCE** then drive it on the streets and almost never hits 22psi(765whp) people that have been with me in the car can chime in… so mainly pushing 15psi maybe (521whp) according to my math doesn’t equal high horsepower to me… As for me being aware that things occasionally go wrong…i am more than aware of…so in the end result its always the easiest to blame the owner which is _ **ME** _ ---
