My car was an A6. I believe the shift points were set to shift at 6400rpm. The motor blew on my 5th pass as I crossed the 1/4 mile finish line.
I have already sold the car and purchased this 2010 Grand Sport.

I have been shifting slightly above 6400 rpm. I believe I'll pull that back a little. Maybe to 3500 rpm (kidding).

@BlownLS3, was it the crank or a rod that gave out? I ask because the dry sump LS3's are supposed to have a stronger crank from what I understand.
I think I read somewhere that you were producing 11 PSI is that right?

It was a connecting rod, not the crank. The rod broke in the #1 cylinder just below the piston. It had a clean break when it was removed. I believe it was pushing 11psi based on the last dyno tune. My LS3 was a wet sump car.

Great looking GS. What damage was done to the EForce? Also, just curious, but what kind of money do you get for a C6 minus an engine?

I basically got $18,000 for my C6 Coupe. I have been back several times to see how the repair is coming. They put it back to stock. So far, they must have at least 40 hours into the repair.
