Wow man. Sorry to hear that!

Fellas, I dont think it has as much to do with the tune, or really even the HP as much as how much HP at the RPMs its been getting...stretched the rod bolts. Especially if the RODS gave...the block itself can take much more abuse..just not when getting rods slung out of them!

Good luck man! On your next build, some ARP rod bolts should do the trick!

The cold weather this year seems to be claiming a good number of boosted/nitrous cars... MAF's don't like temp changes!!

Sorry to hear about the engine. I remember seeing you and your wife at Richmond when she was running her other Mustang. I guess now you can work on making the engine bullet proof.

How much cash you thinking of putting out on the new engine??

Maybe you could look into one of those FRPP crate engines....
