Yes, but how long the engine survives depends on the tune, boost psi, Alky?, IAT's, Engine Operating Temp, etc....

G-Force Motorsports, in Pearland, Texas. Had 11psi, 17* of timing. It cracked the ring on the #7 piston. The motor wasn't completly blown, but I told my wife it was Could have just dropped a piston in.

New motor is a forged 402 9:5:1 with a Callies Dragonslayer Crank, Callies Compstar Rods, Manley Pistons, ported oil pump, etc, etc built by HK Enterprises, here in Houston.

Custom Ground Cam with Patriot springs and hardened push rods.

Novi 1500, 8 rib set up, Meth Kit and Fuel System by ECS. Billet BOV by ICS.

Textralia Exoskel Clutch(I used it for about 750 miles before the mishap).

Should be on the dyno Thursday

Its all about the Tune. MTI has been making cars live @ 700hp for years. Its also how you drive it and don't drive it when it 105 out side.
