I'm sure we were running lean, which is why the engine blew... there wasn't a straight rod in that motor when we got to it, and we had to clean off the track with a broom, because not just one, but 3 rods went out the side.
Apparently, when you're running really lean, at high RPM, with enough dynamic compression to liquefy your insides (In theory), the rods start to become squishy... whodathunkit??
We only did it for fun anyway, so he could put the SRT-4 apparatus in it. Never ended up doing it though.

Now you are clear. The Neon 2.0 motors could only take @ 300 hp on stock internals...I bet it was on the verge of blowing with the 250 hp shot, I am sure the damage already started.
The 420A is actually the tranny. Decently stout piece.
