It's been a sad last few days...

Here is my theory on what happened. The car was making about 620 rwhp this summer. Its cooled off considerably, The car imo was making more power than the pump/booster combo could supply. The FPCM is able to be programmed by us to the ZL1 programming, that's not an issue.

We just ran out of fuel system being at such a high rpm for such a long time.

With that being said, we are standing behind our work, and we are absorbing a good bit of expense with the re-build.

Fuel system certainly will not be an issue now, and its getting a nice forged setup.

I hate when a motor goes down, but its inevitable, it will happen from time to time. But we will NEVER leave anyone hanging out on a limb when a failure occurs on a build of ours. This build will be the same, it will be over-engineered to say the least.

I will agree with Ted on the ZL1 pump, not impressed with it. This was the first or 2nd car we used this pump on. And we will not use this pump again. Better options are out now that weren't then. Lesson learned there.

Always nice to see people stand behind their work. Kudos on being a stand up business!

yeah...and this is one of the reasons I chose GPI. Things happen on high HP builds. I know that. We all do. OP...You're in good hands there.
We used the ADM ZL1 combo on mine and found the limit as well and backed the boost down. boost on set from a Whipple vs a centri...yup, I'd bet it was out of fuel laid out in 5th gear. Ludicrous speed...went plaid and pump said no.

There I edited it for how that should have been posted so it's not vendor bashing vendor. Camaro5 politics at its finest. All due respect intended...but we have witnessed the protocol around here. I can play 'Switzerland' because JRE probably got the same amount of money from me GPI has.

Just love hearing businesses stand behind their work instead of excuses.

I Apologize, Not My intent at all.

Certainly all I was doing is answering the OPs direct question, what caused this.

Wow Ryan. I had respect for you before but now it's at an unbelievable level. You certainly set the standard for customer service, a quality product, and keeping your customers satisfied. That's great that you are standing behind your work and not leaving anyone hanging.

I only wish that other shops will be able to learn from your example. You are truly a gentleman.

NICE JOB STANDING BEHIND YOUR WORK. CLAP, CLAP, CLAP.
That's how small businesses STAY IN BUSINESS.

Ted.

Yes it was to me as well. Seems your above the law around here nowadays.


OP and GPI you guys will get thru this. Hang in there please.

[mikeyg36]

Wow Ryan you are a class act

[SNSSTR]

I feel bad for the OP, but why did he neglect to tell us that this happened right after doing a 180 mph run? Didn't think that might be some vital info to give us when you're asking what damage might have been done?

Props to GPI for getting this take care of though, I knew there was a reason I drove all the way out to Arkansas to get my car tuned.

Most reasonable people would refrain from telling the world that they actually take their car to that level of speed to avoid "tipping the fuzz."

You have the carnage pics?
