Engine Carnage S/C'd 08 GT

JDM. I don't believe it to be a tune related failure. It simply was making more power than the block could handle. Not to mention my driving doesn't help. I was driving it pretty hard when it let go.

I only aksed because I'm pretty sure that mine (at 416hp) let go because of a shitty tune.

Sounds like you got as much outta the stock short block as you could. Forge it, and boost the hell outta it.

Built Ford tough!

Actually, yeah. If he was putting 500whp down thru that stock bottom end and made it 12,000 miles (and admittedly hard miles) he has exceeded the life expectancy for sure.

Lasted longer then I expected, still sucks Corey....I think that's your name

[helosailor]

Yeah, from what I understand, mid-400 rwhp is about all that will be reliable on them. Anything more than that is a roll of the dice. Looks like you hit snake eyes.
Is the new 3V going to have an upgraded bottom end/rotating assy?

[Damnittsteve]

That's gonna cost you some cheddar

lmao

time for an lsx swap.....

HAHA... I already have another 3V on order.

Just curious, who tuned it?

we dont care we want to talk about cheese

[mustang1200]

Just a touch over 500rwhp. Completely stock bottom engine with 12K miles. It's had the SC on it since day one though.

[TEAMJACOB]

Damn man. I'm going to pour some out for ya. X2 on power?

[SNEAKY]

How much power was it making.

about five too many
