Engine locked up at 4500 miles
Just in case if some of yall didn't know but my engine locked up in the car. Here is a cliff note of the story. I'm sure clint or one of the TS guys will chime in with the full story.
Well guys I don't know where to start. I took my car in on Tuesday cause the shop is doing a e85 tune. I put the new TB on and told them to run a baseline before the e85 stuff. They couldn't get to my car till friday morning cause of tuning issues with another car. They drove my car out of the shop fine and it drove onto the dyno fine. They turned it off to strap it down and when they try to start it up again it turned over twice and clunk. They tried it again and it sounded like the starter spun freely. They put the car on the lift took the starter off and it looked fine, the flywheel looked good. They took out the plugs they looked good. They try to turn the crank by hand and they couldn't. The engine is locked up. They are supposed to tear it apart on Tuesday to see what the hell is going on. My car is a 2012 with only 4500 miles on it. So hopefully its a timing chain or something simple.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

I've been wondering where the limit is on these cars power wise with stock internals. My car is an old 5.0 and they broke usually around 500 rwhp and pretty much any motor after that was that way until the coyote motors. I just wonder because they are so new and now people are making good power will we start to find out there breaking point. Stock internals will only go so far.

There are cars making 700-800 rwhp on stock internals. My car isn't making that power yet so my engine didn't lock up because of power.
