Default A few tech question for help on a 427cid engine!

Good evening all

I own a LPE 427cid twin turbo C5.

The car makes over 900RWHP and today in second gear sudenly the car shut off and after checking everything is the timing change broken!

The question I need to know are:

1 Normally LPE put stock chain or heavy duty one?
2 If it is heavy duty, where to buy or which are the best for high HP car?
3 Why they broke?
4 Do you also think I will have bent valves issue?

I broke a timing belt on a Supra several years ago and just replaced and NO problem, I'm crossing my fingers also on the C5.

Any recomendation will be fine.

Regards!!

Pull your codes and post them. Many, Many things will cause your car to shut off.

You're gonna have to tear the top-end down to assess the damage. Man, that's alot of horsies, and things are going to break at your power level. Good luck.
