It's no different then any other part of a car that "could" fail. You could throw a rod and all is over.

The vents are in fact that, heat risers, this 800 WHP engine generates tremendous engine bay heat. The hood pins are a newer style, designed to fit flush with the adjacent hood surfaces when colsed and secured.

i am glad it didnt act like a granade when it died. i am really glad it didnt i have heared horror stories about super chargers and turbos on the really bad end it blew them selfs apart and peaces got shuved in the engine. i am glad it didnt do it and was able to keep its self together when it didnt want to spool.sad it went glad it didnt take the engine with it. i am glad it also didnt dump oil every where and started a oil fire as well. bright side you know what to get to me a little better. sorry if it was sooner than later. what i mean get all the bugs out with the setup and go with a bigger one.
