    Catastrophic failure...

    is what happened to my engine. To recap, I just got the car back from HPP and had less than 100 miles on it. I had never taken the revs above 3000 rpm. Last Friday it let go while I was coming to a stop at a light. HPP pulled the engine apart and found a valve had fallen through the head and...

    literally just got the car back from HPP last week with the rebuilt engine. i think the forged stroker pistons and the block were the only think salvaged from the old engine. new heads were ported and polished. new cams were very aggressive and sounded mean. less than 100 miles on the new...

    I want to do some data logging to diagnose this stumbling problem that I am having. It only does it on the street and won't replicate on the dyno. At light throttle the car will just fall on it's face and then pick back up. I don't know anything about datalogging. If you could help with...

    well i'm back in bid'ness!! finally got the smokin' stroker blown with a HO whipple. she made 450 rwhp (can't remember the torque) on the 3.875" pulley. whipple calls this the 6# pulley so I feel pretty good about the numbers. there should be a lot of boost, and power, left. in even better...

    My experience with DTC P061b

    Thought I would share my experience with this as some research on other forums yielded inconclusive answers. If this is common knowledge then please forgive me and ignore me (in that order, please). I've been driving my new NA stroker around (no power adder but stroked guts, ported heads and...
