Blown engine...Suggestions?

5th gear and 5000RPM? How fast were you going??

If running stock gears and tires, in 5th at 5000rpm you would be travelling approximatly 150mph, with the 4.30s around 115.

75hp is maximum for a dry shot without fuel system upgrades irregardless of manufacturer claims.

When you stated 125hp yesterday I was shocked because I have only heard of very few motors letting go on a 125 wet shot. Ive heard about and seen vids of quite a few popped intakes but not a blown bottom end.

At any rate the obvious good news is that you are now most likely going forged. If you do go forged if it were me I would go with a +150hp direct port on that baby.

Hmm, is this correct? Stock gear numbers I mean. I do a lot of 135 mph runs, and thats usually around 5700-6000 in 4th (T3650). I've been to 150 once, but, I wasn't paying attention to the tach.

I think anyway, I'm trying to find a calculator. If I remember, 5700 in 5th gear was something insanely dumb like 250 mph or something. I'm probably wrong though now that I think about it.

I am not a fan of VT but comparing VT to MMR is a joke. I would go with VT over them. VT has far greater customer service than MMR and a lot less failures...

type in m o d u l a r d e p o t without the spaces in the x'ed out part of the above link. 4 different MMR failures in just one thread...

You also get to read how *great* their customer service is when you have a problem with something from them.

I have had their mod 900 SB for a year now never a problem runs smooth uses no oil. I would recommend them.

I have heard good things about MMR. They have very good prices. I would recommend them to anyone who is short on cash and looking for a forged motor.

Dont know if you're interested, but i have(or will shortly) a stock shortblock out of my 01 saleen. Has a little under 49000 miles. I rebuilt the entire motor to handle 600 rwhp. im from ri too, so if ure interested in it let me know

I had a link to a calculator and on what it said, 5800rpm in 4th is 135mph. If I remember right, 150mph in 5th was in the 4,000 to 4,500rpm range; which is right around where I was the one time I went 150, but to be honest like you I wasnt paying attention to the tach either, only I know there was alot of room left.

SADL: On a 50, maybe a 75shot, you would have gotten away with this for a little while. 125 should be a wet kit for sure...I'm suprised you even found a 125 dry kit for a 4.6 mustang.
