First TracKey engine failure?
Just got a text from a buddy of mine, he said one of his other friends just blew up the motor in his LS on a course in Austin, with TK engaged.

Hope this wasn't anyone here, though it sucks regardless of who it is.

Maybe he was trying to keep up with a ZL1.

This motor has more than proven itself on the track in our bosses and in the races. 7500 is low for this motor. Its rated for a 9k mis shift.....

Waiting for results but it might have been the oil consumption issue and the owner forgot to check it....oil starvation

In for results...

What the hell do you think you bought? You go right ahaed and run it up to 9k. Please let us know how that works out for you. That motor aint that tough. Too much rotating components to hold together. Good luck with that.

You said the denial thing immediately after my post and before he even posted, so yeah logic fail again...

Or am I supposed to believe you were trying to predict the future with your post like Miss Cloe?

Miss Cleo says please run your car at 9000rpm. Please please and have someone take video. Its apparent that you have faith and huge *****. Go for it man. I love me some catastrophy caught on tape.

You act like a politician, you appear to not pay attention and then just make stuff up believing that the very act of making it up makes it real.

I am not denying anything as there is nothing to deny. Then you say I "have faith and huge *****", which makes no sense as I'm not taking a position one way or the other. Perhaps most egregious in this "discussion" is your assumption that I even own a Boss.

I'm done responding, have a goodnight.
