Jose's pan looks just like the one I have maybe? If you think I need to steal an origional idea for a new product from Jose you are highly mistaken and totally wrong. I'm not selling these, it's my build thread, so gtfo.

Aaron, its looking really good man... Absolutely beautiful!

is that a short or a long mani?
specs on the turbo?
set up looks very good,

i might be wrong, but i think aaron runs a gt4082 with a larger .82 turbine ar, and a turbonetics cast manifold. the turbo is a 58mm inducer if im correct, and i think he made 420rwhp on 18lbs. (if you couldn't tell, i was interested in a set-up like this for a long time) ....... creepy!

Not good as in snout broke on crank in Vegas on Sunday after the drags and it had to be trailered home. Still haven't had time to tear into it yet, too many customer projects to spend time on my own car. It was all good otherwise, the engine ran just like I expected and was a lot of fun. I will have to have a 7m crank destroked on the journals this time rather then using a 7m crank.
i just shed a tear for you project...... i can't believe that...... cars do nothing but depress me sometimes
wow that really sucks. all that time waiting for the work to be done and then this... how long did you have it running? did you try to do any pulls or just try to break it in?
It went 13.5 at 111mph in Vegas, I didn't get a chance to dyno it. The rev limiter was at 7500rpm for break in :biglaugh:
I tuned the standalone on the freeway to Vegas so it could have been better if I had some dyno time. I spent about 8 months and $700+ on that damn crank and it went about 400 miles. If you try new things and sometimes it doesn't go as planned the first time around. It looks like it just broke at the weld, so I think the block and everything else will be ok.

atleast your being optimistic about it and you got some seat time with it. so your just going to go with a destroked 7m crank this time around?
sorry to hear what happen big homie! but you'll be back up in no time. . . its just that i was going to ask you if you were going to go to fontana speedway this weekend to race since darian might be along with his mkiv and other buddy(s). . .
