Motor was purchased from a board member and was built locally near detroit. I dont believe it had anything to do with an improper build. Its just what happens when you expect to make horsepower with a production piece. It was the weak link. I have the utmost respect for the guys that race in TSM, and think that the time and patience put into it are to be commended. I know i have learned alot from stepping into this project and my knowledge is ever growing. If it was not for surrounding myself with some exceptional talented group of friends, I would have not made it this far, so THANK YOU. As for TSM.. unfortunately it is not in my future, so I plan on doing some local X275 racing with the new stage2 build with some weight reduction and maybe a couple TSO events.
