Both. Listed in the vendor section as ShadowLands Racing. Only do it part time though. Engineering pays so much better.

Mine are externally wastegated. When I bottom the adjustment rod it gives 8 psi total. Probably because I have larger turbos. Bottoming the adjustment on yours yields 9-10 psi where mine is 8 psi.
So I am just about spot on...

Yes it is an epic fail.....I have alot of $$$ in that motor.

yea man not on your behalf, but just the situation.
Id ask him to cut you a deal, seen as he should "guarantee" his work. if he tells you the short block will handle the power then it should do that. unless there is a definite defect that caused the problem, then it would be the parts manufacturers problem...

Who built it BTW?

Yeah I was told the rotating assembly from MODMAX will hold some serious power....up to 1,000hp. A local engine builder built it and machined it for me, I dont wanna name drop until I know the issue.

It could of been a tuning issue which he had no part of.

unless there is a direct part defect that caused the problem, then it is his workmanship that is the issue to be held accountable.

i would say the email tune may have had something to do with it..
why on earth did you not dynotune it???


and sorry for the threadjack guys

I never got around to it...busy with work and what not and the car seemed to be running strong.

Im not sure on the workmanship just yet. This is the second motor he has done for me. I had a 322 before and I was having some slight issues with it.....but its in a 92 Fox body now and is apparently running just fine so its hard to say.

I dont really run the car too hard so i figured it would be fine.....hit me up on my broke thread. I dont wanna threadjack anymore..

Sry 1BadHRSE.....its all you man.

Wow man that's horrible... I am on a dyno tune right now but not a full tune... WTF is with these threads right now everyone is having issues... This time of year sucks for that cause you want to have it during the summer you know... I am sorry man that does make me worry a bit... My final tune should be next Wednesday... We will see I am still blowing smoke...

why did you go with this setup vs an sts rear mount twin setup?

not really a fan of the rear mount plus this has a cool factor since you don't need mirrors to see it I guess...
