Default Back in business....mostly

After a meltdown with the Whipple and being firm that I am out of the boost game for now, I ended up with the following:

TMS lq9
226/232 .587/.578 115+4 cam
CNC 317s
nnbs intake

I ended up replacing the timing cover and crank pulley because the crank pulley wouldn't budge. Broke 3 pullers.

I have to replace both cats. Only one is melted but you know, replace in pairs.

The nnbs intake swap was painless. If you're already flex fuel, a nnbs flex fuel intake is a 100% plug and play swap, minus the xlink. I got a complete intake for $200 from a facebook sale group.

Too much boost + cast piston = oil ring in oil pan + top or 2ND ring.

It was bad. Part of an oil ring was stuck to the drain plug, the rest of it was in the bottom of the pan.

I probably should've left it alone but I wanted more and more and more.

I like them. Kyle has answered all my questions/concerns.

As for the motor, time will tell.

How much boost when it gave? Was someone aggressive with timing?
