Hey Guys!

My name is Adam, and sorry about the broken car man....I know how it feels. Randy, that thing is quick! Wish I had my front spoiler on when we ran, things got a little scary for me at 110+.

Thats cool man, his car was quick..... Mine was already hurt, but that run put the nail in the coffin.



Lil shakey for me too, I underestimated the car by looks alone the first couple times and let my tranny shift for me out of overdrive thinking it would be an easy kill.............

The last time we backed down I let her eat........

:hysterical:I get that response WAY too often! Thats always my favorite thing to hear from people. I know, my car looks like crap :barf: (Man I love all these smilies!) The last run I let off early when I saw a huge mess of liquid pouring from the bottom of your truck. I had fun though.

That would be when the HG let go, I bounced it off the limiter as I was coming by Waving instead of watching my guages LOL

Yeah, being cocky can have its ups and downs. Are you running head studs?

Ya its built ARP's MLS gaskets bla bla bla, I most likely lifted it a couple months ago doing some testing with big pills. I was coming home from the track and had it loaded with a spare set of tires, Jack and some tools when we ran, all that weight plus the speed and slapping 6 grand caused it to leak, I still made it home and it drove fine temps were fine, but I lost about half my coolant in the resivoir and noticed a few bubbles at idle when I got home. I had been noticing level changes in the coolant for about a month so i'm certain the damage was already done.

No big deal, I have enough spare parts to fix it. I't shouldn't be down for more than a week or so. Motor's all but out already.

Glad to hear man, hope everything goes smooth. Maybe some day we can have a re-match. Unfortunately, my fuel pump seized when I got back from charleston, and I had to put a new one in. You guessed it! Gotta re-tune all my tables, the new pump flows more than my old one. I went from a solid 12.0 AFR at WOT to a nice 10.0. At least it gives me a nice buffer when I turn the boost up to 12 psi sometime in the near future.

Engine out for head gaskets? That sucks!

^^^ Yup

Doesnt have to, but it is easier.

Sorry to hear this!!
 

Sorry good luck on the new build !! Mitch

Exactly, and if I'm that far and have it out I might as well replace the bearings and check out the cyl's.
Shouldn't be a new build, just the same old stuff and some new gaskets, it was running fine but it had a few bubbles in the overflow. I'm gonna try something different for gaskets this time. I had the expensive ones in it and I think with my CR, boost and Nitrous they were a little too thick.
