Do you know what caused it? I was on the internet looking at different sites and it seems the cause can be gas, tune, ring gap too close. When I called Brenspeed in Indiana they said when a Coyote goes they usually see it melt pistons, etc, not break rings.

Blower reinstalled. They are putting a smaller pulley on at no cost and making a cai for me as well. As noted above the car is somewhat limited by the throttle body of the Magnuson. I expect the car to produce around 600 rwhp and 525 or more rwtq on a safe tune.
The short block is has 11.5:1 pistons wheras the stock engine has 11:1. So we will see how it turns out...

My guess is gonna be it's likely a combination of heat and slight detonation at different times. Most likely heat. I had approx 3000 Miles N/A and then the procharger stock tune for maybe around 6000 miles, and lund tune for 3000 miles. I did not baby it. 2nd gear clutch drop rolling burnouts, hot lapping at the track, multiple highway roll races to around 160mph. I bought it to run it. With the new balanced shortblock and lightened flywheel it's super smooth! No knock whatsoever. -knock at all times. I also dropped the compression to 10:1. Gonna turn it up in the near future.

I stopped at LMS today to see the progress. They had the engine in and running a couple of days ago, but, according to my salesman, are spending a lot of time on the tune. They are going to road test it, etc. I am not really sure of the details, but they are definitely giving the car tlc. Here are the photos of the engine so far. The pulley is the smallest that Magnuson makes, I think. The CAI was fabricated. Getting air in to the engine is the limiting factor.

Man... I was holding back but I gotta say it. I feel really bad for you... the hassle and the amount of money you have spent on getting this far... to have that whole kit look like it was put together by random parts from a junk yard. Just looks awful. :(

Why did they make that thing and not give you the one in this picture?
I’d want the one in the green car? I wonder why they changed it?

I think it looks fine just extremely dusty. I’m glad they’re going you the TLC. I like that they put in the CAi cover too

Their original tune is for stock air box. So yeah have to take time to make a new tune with a cai

No doubt Whipple is bad ass. You know who tunes the owners car right?That is why I bought the Whipple Stage 2 Kit because it comes as a complete kit along with a great tune.
