I went through 2 motors this year... For various reasons other than the blower. Did a GT500 powertrain swap. Shouldn't blow this one!

First, was stock block... Clogged Kooks (not so high flow) Cat....

Second, was a built motor. TSS apparently has some quality control issues with their gears. They didn't seal correctly in the oil pump and allowed oil to spew out of the front causing spun bearings.

Hey Boozshey, can you link this TSS item? I just got dynoed, I'm at 536 rwhp right now, so a built motor is in my future, want to make sure I dont run into these issues.

They were made aware of the issue at least twice that I know of. Their answer was, it wasn't their fault... Anyways, I don't trust them any longer. However, others have been fine.
