I agree with that. I like to do things right the first time. I'm going to leave it up to the guy's that are doing my build. They are installing a race head I'm not sure if they are going to use the AMS or another manurfacturer.
My car is quick as **** with the 35R I just want it a bit quicker I don't necessarly need 800 Hp that was just something I'd like to have seen. I'd rather go a bit conservative I don't want to blow up my 2.3 AMS Motor.
I blew up my stock motor, and then blew my trans. I'm tired of breaking things! they'll probably go with the 850R or one of the precision's. They have already did an 850R on another guy's car.

Are you sure the rings are going, or did your tuner just say thats the problem without digging into it?

I now have a 5 gal Alcky tank and I have a LED on my pillar that will come on when it get's low. It comes on at about a quart and a half left.
It seemed like it was running ok I'm not there, but the word I received last week was that they did a compressin check and the rings were bad.
I probably will give CBRD a call to see what they are all about. My work will be done before I get home in July. I'll only be home for a week but I'll try to get up there one day to see what they think.

In your case its not the 40+psi killing it. You are overspeeding the turbo! Your setup flows really well so to make that 40psi you turbo needs to make more airflow, but its at its peak level so it cant. On a more stock motor it will make 40psi and last longer. You need the new Precision 67mm or a 42R

so you wouldn't reccomend the 850R for the 2.3L? What did you mean by "Your setup flows really well" You mean his setup? I'm upgrading my VSR to the Dual Rail VSR will that make it flow too well? I have no idea what your talking about..

If that turbo peaks out at 70 lb/min and its pushed past that level it starts to overspeed at an exponential rate, and it will quickly fail. Thats why its gone to **** so quickly.
