The 600whp might have played some role in the failure.

I mean, these are stout motors, but a stock motor letting go after being ran at 125% of its original power is not entirely unexpected.

agree with you, I knew I was pushing my luck when I decided to go for 600whp

Yeah, it's cool to see what the stock motor will hold and for how long, but no one at that power level is shocked when metal fatigue finally bites back.

The fact that a motor that produces 332 chp from the factory can handle 600whp for any amount of time is impressive.

Good common sense food for thought. I have been waffling for several months now on whether I should start hunting for parts to make the E85 switch for 650+whp but in the last couple of weeks I've been leaning more to leaving the performance side of things alone... 520whp is still a lot of fun and I've got to believe it will have much better longevity.
