Default My SS Timeline

Last March I decided to take a top speed run in my Camaro to blow the already blown transmission. I was going to basically give it its final run. Ive only hit top speed in my car 2 times. There was white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipes and a noise started. Long story short I ended up damaging the engine. Which lead to this noise here:

I started building an engine with Gulf Coast Racing Engines. So far everything has came out completely awesome.

Here is a video of my car when It was running right:
