The engine had around 60K on it before I put it in that truck. Lasted 6~7K with 10 sec power. I drove it everyday from last Dec until the end of may. Had a lot of hard street runs on it, and a few track outings. Saw 18+ psi a couple times on the street I blew up two turbos on that engine, a Turbonetics T66, and a regular T76. The liquid cooled Ball bearing T76 was > than the stock 6.0L rods.

 

Like I stated earlier I intentially pushed that engine until failure. There were no mishaps. Tune and AFR were spot on, no lean out, no detonation, or bearing failure. The remaining pistons, and bearings still look good. #7 piston is still intact and looks good. Had it not blown then I would have pushed it farther until it did. If you don't take things to there limits you will never learn anything new, or ever really know where you are. I plan on doing the same thing with the new engine also.

I like they way you think.

 

Nice work on that engine butttttt....

Am I the only one wondering where you hood is at the track?

 

It was almost 100*, and latch cable was about to break, got sick of opening and closing it so I just took it off. Don't have one of those fancy cowl hoods to let the heat out.
