How much is too much?

652 HP!! off a stock 32v Mach 1 engine. We put on your supercharger system, full exghust, intake kits, and a sweet custom tune and that finally blew the engine. This was the only piston that you could tell, the others were in pennysized chunks. Anyone have a mach 1 for sale?? [IMG]

umm..... wow that really sucks. you didnt expect it to blow? 650hp w/o even forging it or anything. Just buy a new engine off ebey or something and stick with the basic 8lb procharger

RE: How much is too much?

The car that blew up, was it a stick or auto??

What is the deal with the 5spd engines?? Why are they rated at 1000 more RPM than the autos??

I thought you couldnt run too much boost through machs. I guess this is why

RE: How much is too much?

8lb is the safe limit b/c of compression

RE: How much is too much?

so why exactly was it blown... over revved, too much hp or because of the compression?

RE: How much is too much?

tell me your going to just buy a new motor to drop in that is forged, if you just did all that and destroyed the mach and part it out i will punch you in the face, you should know that the motors cant handel that much unless its fully forged
