Good choice ....Ol Gunner at Patriot is the best in the business....
Sounds like maybe the tune was a bit off. Maybe too much timing or lean hammering the rods/bearings. Still have a piston to look at?
Congrats on the new engine though :)
$1195 for the Stage 2's or 3's. Hell there almost paying you to buy them. I really want a set. That would really bring the SS to life. And they will work when I upgrade motors so it is not a waste of money.
I dont know Sarge...Eds got some things in the works...but it should be intresting to see how you both compete with each other.
Good Luck with the 402...theres no doubt that it will haul some serious ASS
You wouldn't think Ed could do much more than a bigger nitrous kit maybe. I would love to ride in that car.

I'm gonna be carefull with my 6.0 it is under warranty with less then 600 miles on the gto so it is getting a polished stainless steel catback from magnaflow tommorrow--and i am taking 3 day weekend to get my nitous hooked up with illuminated red rapid fire purge---can't wait!
:drivin: :drivin:
Hey Rob...you win the prize...last tune it felt "different".....I spoke to the tuner and she was adamant I was running an A/F of 11's across the rpm band.....well when we pulled the first plug all I saw was speckles (lean)....and yes the piston (No.7) was fried.....so lesson is....get a tune and get a second A/F from another dyno when playing with the big boys....I suspect her PC/Dyno was out of whack.....Quote:

Man whatever you do for a living are yall hiring? Blow one motor and replace it with a bigger one...someone's Big Bank Hank! J/K. Sorry to hear about that but on the other hand I'm curious to see just how fast that beast is gonna be!!!
i'm no rocket scientist but by looking at those pics i'd agree with ya---it's 402 iron block time---can you say 800rwtq?
We will be there on a 200 shot no problem...3 1/2" solid driveshaft is being shipped :)
did you blow it sprayin? should i be more conservative about mine cuz i cant afford to blow my engine right now. just bought house next door to myself, and it needs a paint job bad
Nah...just cruising....really...no Spray...No WOT...nothing...just cruising....the spray aint what killed this motor....valve spring killed this puppy...
