Been down since the block split on me. I've just been piddling around untill three weeks ago. I finally decided to get the truck back up and going.
Link Thingy

After a few little quirks (Ostric Batt Died) (flywheel rub) (Key tumbler stuck)

Today I finished the power steering pump, Burped the I.C., Flushed Radiator, Kicked the tires and went for a joy ride. I did a couple of boost launches and 2nd gear pulls to 4PSI.
Motor feels very strong. You can't tell its a balanceshaft motor. wastegate is set all the way out to where the rod just flops on the flapper.


Stock 98 ShortBlock
vortec intake and heads (Thanks JS)
EGR Delete (Thanks Renz)
Map Coil bracket (Thanks Renz)
ABS Delete
10" 2800 Stall TCI W/ Lockup

I had most all the stuff on for a week before motor went.
Yes I was running 32 PSI of boost .... BUT not when then the Block cracked.
It was @ the local 1/8th mile. running 7.somthing and using over 20 Oz of alky per pass
Like three passes to a tank of alky. Stock injectors. Duty Cycle was 150% :lol:
Nice blue flame out the tailpipe.

Serious about performance

I browsed your gallery but couldn't find any pictures of a cracked block? Let's see this destruction! :)
