Well this poor PSD ended life in a gruesome way. A little medieval drawn and tripled. Its Cale Thompson's who is Brian Thompson (BTS) son.

101lbs of boost = 3 piece motor - Page 2 - Powerstroke Nation

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!
I think the cylinder pressures where a little high!

I am sure it had a girdle. Even if he didn't it wouldn't have helped that. That engine ripped apart from the top down. The pistons pushed the block part from the looks of it.
