Just Blew The Engine Up!

I have been on both kinds off dyno. Not at the power level am at now(or was at) I have the dyno sheets to prove it, dynojet was 15% higher than the mustang dyno it was on. So do the math, what is 15% more at 606whp? This may not be the case with all dyno but it is with the ones I have been on. When I tell people I made 606/521 on this mustang dyno they cant believe it, they don't call it the heartbreaker for no reason.
@prn1972: I'm sorry to gawk, my heart goes out to you, bro. Seriously. If you can could you take a clear picture of the metal pieces and post when you can. Just trying to get a quick idea as to what was damaged. The more we all know...
it didn't go from 10.5 to 15lbs, the 75mm pulley is suppose to make 10.5lbs but with me tune & set it makes 15lbs. & it is 15lbs instant when you hit the throttle. it let go around 4500rpm where peak torque is. plus it was 30 degrees outside.
Tune was spot on, a/f stay at 11.5-11.6, I have aeroforce interceptor setup to tell me if it gets to lean at 5000rpm up, yes its on 93 pump with 15* timing down low & 13* timing up top.
Block or stock internal just couldn't handle the power, car lasted 6000 miles this way, like I said I knew I was pushing it.

Sorry to see, but as someone else mention the cooler air can wreak havoc. Not having a lot of knowledge on the 5.0's, do you guys run mafs or is the a/f controlled by the O2's?
Ok gotcha , so it was making 15 psi at max boost then all the time , then yeah I could see that creating some massive power

I think the guy that broke on the Autobahn said that he did a downshift and floored it and it let go......is that along the same lines of what happened to you?
Ouch!
no I came to a straight away on the highway, got on it a little in 3rd, put it up into 4th & floored it, then my little joy ride turned into a nightmare..lol
Welcome to the TVS killed my stock engine club. Here is my melted carnage. Luckily I didn't window the block, or really hurt anything else. Actually the rest of the engine was pretty much mint.
Looks like the 2nd ringland pinched.
The good news was the rod bearings looked pretty mint for a car with 26,000 miles.

finally got her home, this is what was under the car, half a piston & looks like a piece of the wrist pin
Weren't you having knock issues a while back and your tuner desensitized your knock sensor?
Car only has 11,000 miles on it. Wonder if Ford will warranty it..LOL
Figured I would be really pissed off but I'm not... I say **** it...I got a credit card & not long till tax returns.
I will post up more pix with my tuner/engine builder gets it to his shop. I hope the crank & heads were not damaged. And that nothing got in the blower. Keep my fingers crossed. Probably be a few was till I get it to the shop.
