Yep. If you overrevved it enough to cause piston to valve contact, you wouldn't need to ask anyone. You would know with 100% certainty because the car made a very expensive noise and you felt a sympathy pain in your wallet.

Ive money shifted twice (*ouch and ouch) Once on the freeway to damn near 9k in gear and another just over 8 at the track, with clutch out...

Not proud of it since it always feels like how you feel when you see someone get kicked in the balls..

That said, ive had compression and blow by checks to gauge health just before a TT install coming up. All looks good, car sounds strong, and mag oil plug looks typical. I have to say, these cars take abuse, but im not trying to repeat it....

BUT: I do know now that the non-nismo oil pumps are sht, and my future at the track could kill the car if i dont upgrade to a new billet oil pump gear, or simply switch to a nismo oil pump. And - i might have done damage to the pump that might reveal itself after boosting and tracking the car...

I did add an oil pressure gauge, something my OCD enjoys to stress about. So, I can catch a failure in time hopefully,,, but 99.999% I will swap to the new billet pump when they drop my motor for the turbo install.

ALL OF THAT SAID: if the car can hang with me for 2 years boosted, ill be sending it off to AAM for a forged block and 750WHP no shts given:rofl2:

You want a Sucker Punch oil pump. I would suggest you research on here for folks who build a quality motor. I would not use AAM.

:iagree:

Calling BS on the rev's tho. Unless you changed the factory rev limiter from 7,800 to some higher.

Syncro-rev WILL NOT over rev the engine, it will only rev to redline

Is it just me, or does it seem like some people really don't understand how an over rev happens and that a rev limiter has nothing to do with it good or bad.

BGTV8 is correct. The Syncro-rev will only supply fuel until the limiter is hit. Then shuts the fuel off. The over rev happens when the road speed is greater then the engine rpms for the gear the tranny is in when down shifting.

When up shifting. The factory rev limiter is set at 7,800 rpm. When you hit that up shifting. The fuel shuts off. The motor will coast up a few rpms past 7,800.

I've been in to my rev limiter more times then I care to count. :shakes head:

One car I had. I lost the motor by going down 2 gears instead of one. Big block chevy motors don't like to spin past 9,000 rpms. Spun all the rod and crank bearings. Egg shaped a few small ends on the rods too. :eek:
