Twice. One popped piston on stage 2 tune w/2.8" and about a 65-70 shot of nitrous. I knew there was too much timing in the car, I didn't have access to my laptop and HPT for a couple months, but I ran it anyway. Cost me a piston
Second time, after putting the motor together, I split a sleeve. Not really making any more power, but the car started to sound funny again during break-in, so I beat it until it broke. Took out the front side of #1 sleeve. Got rid of the car after that.

O hey joe
i've blown 2, once was to much timing and to high egt's. second one the crank pulley spun on the crankshaft taking a chunk out of the crank shaft, lost oil and coolant pressure.
I've been on a 2.9 and 42# injectors for a little over 2,000 miles now. Runs perfect. Its tuned by Area47 tho..............I also have cooling mods, h/e and full exhaust, PLUS, I don't drive like a jackass when its freezing cold outside
i had a 2.8 pulley with stock injectors in my car when i first bought it (didnt know) and droveit for about 6,000 miles, did alot oh highway pulls, installed 60s, then went to a 2.7 pulley with meth, and i took it to the track often and Plenty of highway pulls and my car still runs great no problems, and now im in the process of turboing her
i have 36,000 miles on my car and no issues with anything whatsoever. if you do it right, meaning not just throwing 2.8 and 60s..u get a reallly good tuner to custom tune you, must have cooling mods. my clutch is 100percent also
been making over 400whp for almost a year now and over 350 for 1.5 yrs. Car's never skipped a beat.
Your odds of blowing the LSJ are high. I know more blown LSJ's personally than I do running ones. Of course all the guys who have not blown their motor either went turbo or trap under 105. The LSJ is UN ******* RELIABLE WHEN HIGHLY MODDED, Especially with the HeatonM62. Sure a 2.8 2.9 Setup will be reliable but If you like being able to Contend with the real power out there a 2.9, 2.8 **** even a 2.5 with meth making 300whp wont do it.
You would be best off swapping to a turbo that will be more reliable than any Heaton or TVS on your car, Unless of course you like running mid 13's then you might as well just put 60LBers 2.8 full exhaust, HE dynotune Dot compounds and call it a day.

completely untrue, its the shitty tunes and the back to back beatings that do it in. I've abused the **** out of my car, was trapping in the 110mph range s/c and 118+ turbo'd still on the bone stock original motor with almost 44k miles on it.
