My good luck has ran out... Last weekend during the Supra nationals I was beating on the car HARD... and boost maybe running a little higher then usual lol 
and I noticed the car sliding a little bit on a top end pull, then it proceeded to run a little hotter 
babied it home to find coolant sprayed all over under the hood. Overflow tank looked like a M-80 went off inside of it 
I let it sit all week and confirmed today. I did a little experimenting to make sure it wasn't knock causing it, sure enough no knock was seen and it still lifts the heads. Time to tear it down. I guess I can't complain about a solid year of beatings it took at that level. The damn 346 from hell is still kickin though... gotta make up my mind if I pull it out now for a refresh or just swap gaskets......
Was fun though

I run VP fuels... I have ran a ratio of 3 to 2 gal of 109 and c16 and it owned my sensors in about 20 gallons of gas.
