Need some advice
So put the car on the Dyno this past weekend. I have basic bolt-ons and a Trifecta Tune. The car made very low numbers for the 24PSI I thought. Well anyways on the 3rd run the car popped on the Dyno. Don't know to what extent the damages are yet. Ik it wasn't good due to the plugs being covered in oil, massive white cloud of smoke out the exhaust, and oh yes metal on the dip stick. So here is where I need help. I need best bang for buck stuff here. Block, pistons, rods, head, etc.... I was going to spend the money on a full ZZP build but I have a baby on the way and being a responsible parent comes first. So if anyone has links to certain things for sale or advice please post here. Stock block or aftermarket is fine. This car will be slowly built over the next 4-6months. Thanks in advance for any advice!

what was the issue have you found out? also why did you keep going, and did the dyno guys not say anything to you, that they thought something may be wrong with it? what did the afr look like?

Intake,hardpipes,downpipe,side-exhaust,IC that's it
They didn't say anything cuz the AFR looked fine. The last run it went lean alil but that was it. I think something was weakened and just let go.

You might want to PM Mongorat. He may have a stock block sitting around that you could just swap right in. ZZP may have one lying around too. Send them a message.
