So before I start with how it happened, I will explain how I'm set up. I have an '06 Mustang GT with a full BMR tubular steel suspension in the rear, hurst short throw shifter and a Saleen Stage 3 S/C package from Brenspeed. I have ran this set up for a year now but I am new to the blown scene.

So now for how it happened. I was driving home a week ago and decided to have some fun in my car. Now I know what I'm gonna hear, but that's fine. I'm 27 years old and I've done this quite a few times on this highway, I know the roads and I've done it over 10 times with no issues. I was cruising with a Honda S2000 who was tryin to mess with me, so I drop it to 4th and take off. At about 140 ( Please no comments about my speed, I've been much higher than that and I'm no professional, but I take responsibility for what I do. )
Anyway, I felt the bang at 140 and smoke rolled up from my car. Long story short, I blew 2 rods out of the block, cracked a piston in half and got metal shards everywhere, including in the S/C. Also I took my heads out as well. Now as to what caused this? Just ran it too lean, didn't adjust the BAP to run more rich. I'll post some updates when I find out what is goin in it. Right now, looking like a Ford Racing forged 4.6 3v motor for supercharged apps.

How much PSI were you running, and were you tuned for what you were pushing?

Sorry to hear that.

If you've been over 140mph 10 times, why did it blow this time? Cold temp? Has it been eating itself up all along?

Your heads should be okay, but your valves are going to be toast for sure.

Like to know PSI, power, who tuned it.

The BAP is suppose to be set to full rich at all times, its never suppose to be adjusted. With a stg 3 saleen you should have had the GT500 pumps....

Man I envy you guys who have the money to just fix it right away when you blow an engine. I'd have to save for two years before I could afford to buy a built motor.

I don't see why you would need GT500 fuel pumps with the Stage 3. Look @ brenspeed's site. It comes with the KB BAP.

Sorry to hear that. is the SC salvageable? How much boost/power were you running? I also have a BAP on the same setup. I leave it on max all the time and have taken my car up to 155.

Were you still in 4th at 140?

I have yet to hear of anyone blowing their motor that is NA. Pretty much all are from boosted engines that last a year or a little longer.

More info would be great. Thanks.
