do it! it should last a few more pulls. just drive it very conservatively on your way to the dyno and have a trailer ready just in case it blows on the dyno.

Dude - very sorry to hear that. Look at it this way tho bro - you already proved what can be done on a stock block - maybe this was the kick in the ass to build the block and get stupid with it?

got the motor ready to come out last night, its sitting on 2 mounts right now, im about to go out and put the 3s on a dolly so i can use the engine stand for the 5s.
with the help of a few of you, i smartend up and decided against dynoing this motor, but i WILL be dynoing dustins 5s, if for nothing else than to clean up the tune for his motor,..but no 15+psi runs..lol, i dont think that motor could take it, its got 160k on it. pics in a while.

will you be putting the cams into dustin's 5s before the dyno? or are you going to leave the cams in the 98 engine?

6strings:
i will be installing the cams back into dustins motor. b-boy: agreed, it was definetly much faster than before, after tuning and driving shannons car, and jims, im guessing that it was easily all of 270whp, and at least 300+ftlbs. the thing pulled like a rocketship to redline..lol i didnt get nearly as much done as i wanted to yesterday, the baby kinda had a cranky day so i wasnt able to spend any real time in the garage. all i managed to do was get the 3s off the stand, and finish pulling the 5s. i want to get the 5s on a stand today, and start getting the turbo kit and stuff off.  on a good note, at least i can finish painting my engine bay. lol
