Too much boost but now I'm addicted.
The turbo and waste gate are going to a local shop next week to find out limits as well as the injectors . We think boost killed the rods and the ring lands may have been detonation but fuel is up and everything is black not white burn in the combustion chambers , plugs are black . Numbers will tell but now that it's completely apart a new recipe is in need.
If I was rich and retired like the rest of you I would be looking for ls9 but I'll need to force myself into a nice small block.
Tune it down is like asking a chick to get a breast reduction and that in my book is considered capital sin..... period

Sorry to read about the carnage! Really sucks having an engine self-destruct. I do understand/know how addicting speed/power are, as I threw a rod through the block of my Boss 302 back in high school - trying to emulate NASCAR's 9000 RPM mark w/ only a DYI balancing and stock internals. Try, try again. After market rods may have helped, but hindsight is always 20/20, eh? So, will you re-build for "wild" or keep it "mild" and add a few after market goodies for reliability?

Actually quite the opposite.
Square peg in a round hole.
Fire engine red hair.
About a billion freckles
Geeky with girls and sports.
Dork glasses since 4th grade.
My Mom made me wear wing tips.
My Dad made me get a crew cut.
Not exactly a mover and shaker.

Tune it down or build it up? Sloppy Mechanics are making 700+ hp on junkyard 4.8s. No joke.
Heres an example.
