Default BLEW MY MOTOR!!! grrr...now new questions about where to go sc guys welcome

so i have no clue what i did since i was driving fine one minute and then i lost a bunch of power, ill dia it this weekend but it doesnt sound good. but guess it cracked piston or burned valve or something along those lines, maybe rod bearing. Anyway beside the point if it inst simple, which im guessing it wont be. Id like to start looking at forged stuff. But what id like is to make 500rwhp so my thought is just max the sc outi think the rest of my car can handle it so im just curious with factory heads and cams can i even make that much power? heres what i have and what im thinking

Vortech v1 si trim
siemens deka 60# injectors
05 mustang slot style maf
home made power pipe
3 core FMIC and bov
lethal performance return style hat twin stealth 340 pumps factory rails, 6an return
weapon x cops tr6 plugs
stock headers
bassani x pipe no cats 2.5 inches

what ill get

MMR 900s (id consider a stroker except the tune is a lot cheaper i think if i dont stroke since i wont have to retune)
leave heads and cams along
move to an 8 rib pullie set up
smallest pullie i can get, which no clue what what is thats why im here.


so really just looking at forged bottom end and pullie down, do you think ill be able to reach those numbers? where are my weak points?

thanks

by the way i finally fixed fuel system in case you didnt pick that up by seeing the return system...new tune kept almost the same numbers 360hp 327 tq but on a much warmer day. and my tq may have peaked the same but didnt drop off after 5300 like it did before, car felt a lot healthier. easy come easy go, 2 days of fun was not worth the 2000 dollars i spent fixing it last time IMO lol

oh this may have not helped my engine situation, but it drove fine 2 days after
lol

yes to 3rd gear, tried 4th clutch didnt hold. and i wasnt on the brakes wheels are chalked. Also i thought with just pullie changes when i talked with my tuner sounds like its around 200 bucks because its all wot tuning which is about 200 bucks. if i stroke or do heads and cams and what not i think its a full retune to get drive ability back which is 650 bucks. so i was just looking at saving a little money.

Well it did that just fine drive home fine gave people scary rides just fine, at some point 2 days later it just gave up. So even though I'm sure I damaged it there it still doesn't make sense why it would work fine then stop. Anyway anyone have so ideas on my other questions lol

Whose your tuner?

Im wondering if when you was having fuel issues if you caused some detonation and now it just went. Because you just got your car running right 2 days ago right? If I am reading the OP correctly

And nice powerstand by the way haha

Did you win the burnout competition at least? Sucks to hear about this though. Best of luck getting it fixed

I won't know until I get in it if its something I did or not. I'm doubting its the tuner, if I did damage it could have been before it was a good tune with the fueling issues but that wouldn't be tuners fault because I told him to tune it anyway knowing I was running out up top. Also I had a little over quarter tank and got a hard miss the day before, but worked fine after that, although the tr6s I pulled looked like they had a bit of high speed glazing, I didn't think I needed to go any colder than tr6 for my set up. Anyway good chance I did this to myself. And no I didn't win, I'm the only manual car who does it, plus they announced my name and car in the wrong order and confused people when they were scouting for final round cars
