kinda curious what actually happened.....

 

[Jason]

I am guessing a rod blew through the block judging by the fire on the headers. We may never know though.

Crikey! Wonder what they had done to it beforehand.

I think the fat guy in the trunk had something to do with it...

That usually leads to transmission problems first.

I always want to see one blow when on a Engine Dyno, I sent the "Horse Power" team a e-mail once if they ever had one blow, but I never got a response to the e-mail

I believe the car was making over 800hp. That's a bunch no matter what. Fat guy on the back was to help keep the rear down on the rollers. Owner said:

apparently..

there could be a possibility that the selected amount of boost might have been a tad bit too high..

 

[Mac]

Dug a bit deeper on a Mustang site and the owner did say 24 lbs boost, might have been too much?

I think the 12,000 rpm in 3rd gear had something to do with it.....
