I called the flat bed and had the car delivered to my shop LOL when I got back this morning the side and roof of the car was covered in oil.  I jacked up the car and there is a big hole in the back of the block and a crack that runs all the way from the head down to the oil pan.  I almost split the entire motor in half! LOL

I just had a 7" lower pully installed with a retune and I guess I found the limit of the stock rods 257HP was pretty close anyway.  My high speed run was obviously just too much.

Now the question do I build a new motor or do I just install a stock long block?  If I do build a new motor I’m going to swap my alpine blower for a Ripp Vortec blower that kit + a built motor will take me to over 350HP.  But it’s 12G rather than just 3 for another motor.  Considering that I paid just $14K for the car spending 12K on a motor well that’s a bit silly but I would have a genuine 150MPH+ 12sec daily driver. Hmmmm

I may just for fun take it back to Hyundai and ask if they will warranty it. LOL  :lol:
