Yes, I met you Hyde. I was telling you how a simple $75 window switch could save your motor when your 4L60E decides to take a puke (it will) but you just shrugged it off and laughed. Most people prefer to listen to valuable advice <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Would you mind taking a video of the poor motor letting go? Let's guess what will go first, that will be a fun game.
I say the #6 rod goes through the block. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
It may be possible but I would be very cautious, why do you disagree with a window switch? It's just a little cheap insurance.

I will eventually do the motor in my truck, but, that's a long ways off. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> SCREW AGOSTINO, at least that's what he did with me and my Z28. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> That son-of-bitch will NEVER get any business or any kind of recommendation from me, except, stay as far away as you possibly can from Agostino Racing Engines. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

Tony if i affended you i didn't mean to. I am on a quest for big #'s with stock ****. I don't really care if it blows to hell and back... I'm after big #'s and i made big #s. I don't see how a slipping tranny can blow a motor??? It really has nothing to do with the amount of NOS or fuel i use...? Onyx ls1 this motor has had over 25 bottles through it in less than a month and a half. I'm not saying it is not going to blow, cause it will stock **** can only take the stress so long. But i guess the difference between me and you i have ***** to go after those #'s and don't care if it spits out #6 ,7 ,8 or what ever this is a test. It only benefits people like you who are scareed to be first, now you can follow... I will build a new motor which is in the works as i type this and it will make over 550 at the wheels.... Really though thanks for the concern... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Truck]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_truck.gif" />

God wtf That is the lamest **** Ive ever heard.. So what ur saying is your a dyno queen, I shouldnt have much room to speak. Lets think of it this way if your tranny slips its not going to shift and its going to either A.) Bang the rev limiter or B.) Go past the rev limiter.. Now think about this.. n2o is still feeding into your motor.. Unless your not on a WOT Switch. What are trying proving with well "Ive got 550rwhp" if thats whats your going after.. That doesnt mean crap. Your Motor will be going kaboom soon after!! No offense man. Youd have to strap a BIG shot of n2o and have one hell of a fuel system, but you know what.. Thats just numbers it doesnt mean your truck is fast.. now does it?? My car makes 520rwhp and I only trap 124-125mph in the 1/4 mile. Thats pretty bad.. Yeah I have some awesome hp numbers.. I look cool when I say it, but the car doesnt run the 1/4 mile for ****.

I mean man dont take this as me dissing you at all. If numbers are what you are after.. then by all means go for it.. If you have money to rebuild the motor man I'll be proud to see you do it, but Id seriously suggest a window switch.. Just keep your stock motor safe as long as possible.

Listen knucklehead, it is safe to assume that either A. Your clutch is slipping B.you cannot drive or C.you are dragging an African Water Buffalo behind your "520hp" Cobra. Your mph tells me that you are a LOOOOOOONG way from 500 hp. Invariably, this is simply an exercise in futility when we discuss the numbers, obviously you are in the practice of doing the exact same thing as I am when you disclose your supposed dyno numbers, so please refrain from your low-brow comments. Your assistance is not needed here.
THIS IS ONLY A TEST!! We are having fun CLOWN! We are trying to make a number, we were equally shocked to see the dyno results. We just want to see what this "envelope" can take. Until someone trys, there will be no definitive result. Call me the Captain Kirk of the 5.3, to "Boldly go where no man has gone before....."

98Vobrasvt, you really have no idea of who you are talking to when it comes to mph, HP or mustangs. Yeah your 124mph Mustang is fast don't get me wrong, but lets just say that Hyde had an everyday 5 liter coupe, that ran 10mph faster then you in the 1/4, over 10 years ago and it was his daily driver. If he is talking the talk, he will walk the walk.
