Slow and getting slower

Uhh...I called him and said "Im pushing about 1200hp at the flywheel with a 4l80e in a 5000lb truck", and he said ok I think I have one that will work well for you
Mentioned it would probably stall around 3600, but I dont really care about that unless its super super loose.

Unfortunately....things arent so good.
Notice some low oil pressure so I cut the filter open...
Also tested the trans, and it has low pressure in every gear, so it needs to come out as well...
But I took it to the track today to get a final run in, and this is with only 17lbs with a 12lb launch on a bummed trans...be sure and listen to the speaker

Still runs good on a bad day!
I am hopeful though, I knew it wasnt going to last forever at this power level. Although I am bit irritated at the engine issues (I think the crank is bent...), when I get it back to 100% its going to be a beast with this converter and turbo!

Sucks man, maybe it won't be to bad to get it straightened back out. Got to make some passes in my car this weekend at i22 but hopefully ill get the mini-tub and suspension done this month and ill get to come out and play with y'all.

This is the second engine I have had this crank in that showed the exact same symptoms...low oil pressure but still runs perfect. Completely new block. I plan to check it with it still in there. Hoping to have it out this week. Just dropped off the trans at blakes.
