My friend made this. hes from 3.8mustang.com

Vortech V1... i forgot what PSI pulley...

it shows the begganing to end of his car from when he mods it, to when it blows up....

Alot of us was moved by it when we saw it because we been talking to him on the forums for a while and hes been working very hard on his mustang before his engine blew. Now he is just returning the car back to stock.

Great Video! Nice looking car. You see the puddle of oil on the ground like that, it gives you a pain in your left pocket of your pants where your wallet sits. Feel bad for him. Hope he will decide to do the Vortech on it again.

Yeah, I talked to him a while back. He said he was pushing around 15lbs and tried a 50 shot with it and broke the crank.

Didn't watch the vid...but...on stock internals? Surprised it didn't blow with 15psi.

Edit: Just watched the video.. pretty good, but with the way he was driving it there. It doesn't surprise me it broke the crank. Someone made the comment of why spend the money on a six...? Well for one, noone would expect a six to be as fast as an eight. 'Sleeper'
