Unhappy Blew my motor today

Met up this afternoon with some V-8 guys. We were going across the Howard Franklin and this Red Enzo Ferrari goes blowing past us. I miss shifted into second instead of 4th. After that at about 120 mph i lost all oil pressure in 4th gear. Sounds like i broke the oil pump gear but not sure yet. I have a prodrive gear. It's not supposed to break. Definately making some grinding metal noises. I had to wait 2 hours to get towed off the hump of the Bridge. Time to rebuild. i got 500 miles out of that motor. Since i'm building it again i will tell my #'s. That motor made 500whp@21lbs with 350 ftlbs torque. Dont be surprised if its more when i replace all the damage in a few months. Red Enzo Ferrari owns me. At least i went out in style.
