gr8snkbite Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 that sucks...doubt the rpms though (unless he was riding the clutch)...be interesting to hear the tale of what failed and what caused it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slabo Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm going with detonation from a lean tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDrool Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 You know, these motors were made to be modded woth S/C's and tunes. I'm a bit curious to know if it was the mod or a manufacturing defect. Can't wait to hear long term stats on the hennessey's with stock motor and S/C and all that...KABOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentIan Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 My guess: threw a rod out, knocking a hole in the the side of the block..............I am very surprised at this though, wonder how much boost he was running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad canned tunes not verified on the dyno 2. Bad gas 3. Driver revving to 6500+ RPM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmellSoGood Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 The clutch was slipping as well? I recall seeing a video of some guy shifting with the clutch half-way pressed and some comments being made, actually here on this forum, that's the right way to drive the car.
