Ran a 10 sec pass...
Ran a 10 sec pass... trying to get on PINKS this weekend. 
Took the Blue Beast up to Ennis and Sprayed the LT4 for the first 2 nitrous track passes ever on this motor. I kept it conservative with just 100-shot pills in my NX wet kit. The first pass I had some serious tranny/shift point issues, but still managed to run 10.86 at only 118 MPH
(yeah, I told you I had shift point issues).
We have a video. Not hosted yet. Will post that up to validate my pass.
Luckily Tony (Shepard) was on hand with his laptop. We changed the tire size in the PCM tune to reflect I was running on my Hoosiers, and also changed the MPH at which 1-2 and 2-3 should happen.
Well the second pass everything went flawless. However, PINKS would NOT give anyone a timeslip nor tell them what they ran.
I know, it's bench racing, but it felt like about a 10.5X

I know the car has a lot more in it. Would have been great if I had gotten the timeslip for the second pass... or if it had shifted right on the first.
Thanks Coach and 2fast4Lv.
I will try to get a link to the video, but it will take a few days. The guy who did the filming (Rifleman) is not the same guy who can host it. So that transfer has to take place first and then I need to bug the second guy (Ouija) to get it up on the server. He's pretty busy lately, but I'll pester him as I always do.

Just found out that 10.86 was on 7 cylinders. 
I had started getting some blowby shortly before PINKS, but went up there and ran it hard anyway. We just got done tonight checking the plugs and doing a compression test. #8 was 50 psi. **** me. That was the source of the blowby for sure. The plug was absolutely fine. No sign of detonation on it. My rings must have not been up to the cylinder pressure of the 100 shot. The #7 plug actually had some signs of a little detonation, but that cylinder checked out OK at 165 psi. We had sprayed it a couple times on the good 'ol country highway doing some data logging and checking as preparation for PINKS. It started having some blowby coming up the breather, but there was not time to really delve into it until now. So, I ran it that way at PINKS.
Time to save up for some Hellfire rings.

Thanks guys. Well, the motor was basically destroyed at PINKS. When I checked plugs and ran a compression check afterwards, I knew something bad had happened. Took it over to PortPros and they performed a leak down test. I've got 3 cylinders that have issues. Two are completely dead in fact. We are still not sure exactly what happened (the tear down will reveal it for sure) and why it happened. Problem is I did not build the motor, a friend of a friend did. He never sprayed it and we think that ring end gap was not set up for N2O or the compression was a good bit higher than he told us.
As soon as I can pull the motor, it's going in for a bottom end rebuild.
