Arrow 2 LS1s - LT1 - Cobra - 3v Mustang -'11 V6 Mustang - Ion Redline *vids* +LS1 blowup

Just some action from the past couple weeks. I am having some copyright issues with Youtube, but I think they are all good now, but let me know if you have issues with the video.

Enjoy in HD!

Good racing right there! I gotta admit, I really like the way those Ion Redlines look. I almost bought one once, but the center dash gauge cluster was a bit much.

It really sucks about the motor going on the black car. That's some serious carnage.

I could NEVER own one for the simple fact that the cluster in the middle is terrible.

But yeah, worst carnage I've seen, especially from such a low hp car. The ground from the the block had somehow got blown off and was hanging by the wires.

He found it on the last race, but yesterday I just found out he had no clutch fluid in it so that might help.

Thanks guys. The black car probably won't be up until spring, but it should be a good bit quicker then.

He was more pissed that he filled up a bottle for nothing.

I guess he found out afterwards, but the LT1/T56 was out of the car the day after the LS1 blew up, so it's not his problem now. LS motor going in.

Same thing happened to me. I filled my bottle and then the timing chain broke. Now I have a full bottle sitting in my basement, lol.

Great races otherwise, and +1 to liking those redlines and cluster being ugly lol

Stock 98/99 rod bolts are known to be a bit poopy.

Sean, I was thinking the same earlier when we texted back and forth.

Wasn't the 97-98 LS1 rod bolt's weak and then they upgraded it in 99?

If anybody knows for sure on the issue, please object to my lack of knowledge
