Default RIP my WCCH Motor

My is just 2 months past its 2 year B-Day.. and I cant sleep at night anymore thinking about it.. Its life span of only 2 years had 6,300 Miles Clocked on the Speedo 250+ Track passes, 150+dyno pulls, 4 Sets of rear tires, Three turbos, 2 intercoolers,3 fuel systems, 25 Different Torque converters !!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT A TYPO and three transmission Rebuilds.... I have never tune Much more then a Radio when this motor came in the mail... Its had 60psi of Oil pressure at idle Since Day one and 85+ after 3000rpm... I have allways used Rotella 15/40 with AC delco filters...I had a small 23X/232 camshft in the motor and up until last month never removed a valve cover or done anything more then change the Oil ... My truck is 4550lbs with driver and been over 141mph and 9sec et with a Rear mount turbo.. Made 877 on a dynojet@15.5psi unlocked converter and 4l80 and after alot of dyno pulls 900+ on a Mustang dyno at 19.... Tuners blame the motor when something goes wrong.. Drivers Blame the Builder, and engine guys Blame the Tune ...... I Blame 100% of my trucks success on my bad *** motor Rex and Richard at WCCH .. I Built,i tune and I abuse my stuff and I have given up.. Its time.. Motor is now out.. I am looking to send it back to Rex for inspection.. So we will see how he reports back ... Cheers to Good American workmanship and Big thanks to Richard and Rex RIP to the Baddest Damn Hotrod Engine Ever !!!

So what happened to it?
Mine's still going strong!! I'll sell you my motor, I think they are clones actually!!
You gonna make it a 408 or stick with the same displacement on your new set-up?

Nothing is wrong with the motor... it sounds like the day i got it... I want to change Cam,valvesprings,Intake setups and few other things on my truck to make it nice... I think the motor is now a 412"? Its just that time .... I am taking things all apart to get it ready for this season and i want to make sure i can take care of this bullet... we will see what Dr Rex says once its apart for inspection ..

That thing sounds bad ***!!! What's the new plan for it?

On a side note, do you have any videos of that thing in action?
