Hard to say really. All the plugs always looked even so I don't think we were down any holes. Had a couple ideas of why it didn't make any power and we were going to try some stuff this weekend on the dyno to see if it picked up. Kinda glad it happened on the road in the open instead of in my buddy's shop with all his cars and who knows how many people.
Oh well.
Slowly disassembling the engine now and gathering parts to get it going again. Not in too big of a hurry. It's HOT
Next up:
347" or 370"
forged pistons
forged rods
LS9 gaskets
LS7 lifters
GM High volume oil pump
ARP main studs
eBay head studs
317 heads
COMP rocker trunion upgrade
Brian Tooley Dual Valve Springs
LS2 timing set
Speed Inc. TU1 or TU2 cam or JFR 218 Isky Cam
Methanol kit
Nitrous Express nitrous plate
CK Performance 4L80 trans brake valve body
3.42 gears
New tires. Undecided on 28x10.5-15 Hoosier Slicks or 275/60-15 MT Drag Radials

Still waiting on pistons and arp main studs to show up so I can take everything to the machine shop.
Turbo will be here hopefully next week so I can at least fondle it.
Sending the wastegate to Kyle so it can be fabbed up
In the "spending lots of money and not having anything to really show for it" stages right now. It sucks, but parts are slowly starting to roll in.
Also sold the Bogarts. New wheels will be here thursday. Really excited about those.
Hopefully I get to drive it again before the end of the year.

Money. It was cheaper to sell my parts than to buy a t4 turbo I wanted, pay someone to fab me a 4" downpipe and pay someone to weld on my new wastegate flange.
Big t4 turbos are custom most of the time. Custom = $$$
I'm sure my reasoning is flawed but I'm cool with it lol
