Purely speculation: I think to rule out foul play a 3rd party should open up the motor and determine cause of death. That would be the smartest step if one feels the initial explanation of failure was less than sufficient. Of course this isn't a human and she can/will come back to life but it sure does feel like a lost loved one. I don't foresee the new mods causing this to happen. I would bet this was still within the 500ish awhp range, albiet more but still keeping in mind drivetrain health. Which leads you to believe once more the engine should have been completely fine as its been validated with 600awhp ...and the new mods increased efficiency...so I believe there was either a problem with the motor build itself and was some sort of ticking time bomb no matter what or there was a fatal tuning error, or new injector failure. I know of at least one person in the EVO world who built his motor with Cosworth internals and ended up having one of his new injectors stick open. He wasn't down for long so I don't know the extent of damage or details. Potential transmission issues were on everyones mind and never was the structural integrity of the motor.
