As you say it is different and dose look nice as well. I am in the process of going through my last 2 major builds. One is going to be the stereo and the last will be a ZL1 body kit and the MPD-1 Z Force hood. I want this pod setup because they are different then most and will not have to worry about the stuff falling down ever again. Thanks for the incite on the piece and being the test dummy as you said.

Got my new ACS underhood liner installed yesterday.

Obviously there had to be a lot of customization to get this liner to fit with my 4 vents in the hood, but we were able to pull it off and it looks soo much nicer and cleaner!!

Nice car. I love the way you put your touch to it. My wife said the curtains looked nice.

Haha, thanks....i guess!!

TRC-SS · 07-29-2016, 06:12 PM

Little update for everyone.

Car is currently under the knife at Jannetty Racing.

2 bent Connecting rods in bottom end.

Motor is in good shape and they are using that to fully build a monster!

Stay Tuned...

Utoh. Major bummer! What happened, bud?
Also, no proof you took the curtains down without a new pic!
Can't wait to see your new numbers.

No idea what happened. Ive been chasing a random issue since the last upgrade. In the past year its only happened about 8 times. But under heavy load the car would just fall apart wide open and it was like the fourth of July in my motor and exhaust. Always seemed to happen when i shift into 3rd gear and re-applied the gas. It would just start back firing(from the motor area), and hesitate but then clear up within a few seconds. No engine lights or after effects. That was until this time. Merged onto the highway, 1st, 2nd and grabbed 3rd, as i hit the gas for 3rd fireworks again and this time it bent 2 rods. Sad day.

It sucks cause i knew it wasn't right and was bad but could never replicate the issue when the car was looked at, and every test was thrown at it to try and find the problem, but the gremlin stayed hidden. Still not sure what was causing the issue, it felt just like valve float but there was no valve train damage. Hopefully the new Fully Forged motor will solve the problem, but id be lying if i said i wasnt scared to death of re-occurance tho.

That sucks man. I mean, at least you know what the problem was now. I fear for that, as well. Now with forged internals you can crank the boost and not worry. My buddy with a 1000hp mustang always says if it breaks just make it stronger then you get more power! haha. Best of luck man and looking forward to your updates!
