Hoping for the best! I have a very similar setup and haven't had any issues. Been at the track two times and still running well. I would also contact JRE for support. Hoping for the best

I have similar mods including cam. Installed the cam at 10K miles, now have 56K miles. No issues at all. Parts occasionally fail whether due to quality or abuse or improper installation.
I had to replace the drive shaft last winter and it was covered on warranty. It was determined my mods had nothing to due with the issue. I have a cool dealer too. Negative people should just keep their opinions to themselves.

I will let people know what failed when it is fixed. Sorry guys.
The only abuse this car gets is over application of wax It was a part failure.

The timing chain failed. It needs new valves, cam, lifters, timing gear and chain, upper and lower gears, and oil pump.

Hey, it could have been much much worse. You could be needing a new engine. Shit happens and it sucks when it does but you'll be up and running in no time.

With all that he needs, how far off is that from a new engine? It sounds pretty bad off to me. But, on the bright side, the engine is fine! It will get fixed and be better than before.
