Purple People Eater Sh*t itself today

Find a different/better builder? There are tons of people running massive power and having no problems.

That's my logic, except for road courses.

He's a very well known and respected builder, and said he is going to make it right.

Really sounds like a fluid leak somewhere in the trans.

That's what I'm thinking, and after his test drive Friday, he thinks the same thing. I'm really hoping it's not the case.

Mike I'm hijacking you're thread for a minute.
Has anyone ever street driven a 20:1 CR motor on the street? What is the average life span on the wrist pin bearings, and rod/crank bearings? Should a zinc additive be ran at all times?

VW runs that much from factory, and they're just little baby parts. I'd like to think the 1000lbs of engine that is a 6bt could handle it, especially at stock power. The way I see it, cylinder pressure is cylinder pressure. Whether its from more fuel, boost pressure, or higher compression. I would see stroke length being the major killer on heavier rotating assemblies.

I'll be corrected though, so I'm awaiting a reply.
 
I should have said CR= compression ratio......... Well the motor is going in labor weekend. We'll see how it goes.
