Default 207 K 12.08 R.i.p.

So went back out last night to shoot for that 11 second mark and the track was definately not the best. Bumped the jets up to a . 051 and a .029. got a best of 12.08 @ 113. 83 with a 1.74 60.

Put bigger jets in it to take on this GT700 porsche, EVO MOTORSPORTS 700 hp porsche. On the vid you can hear a rod knock develop as I come out of the burn out. Couldnt hear it in the car. Brought it to the line Launched it from 3800, might have carried the front left, Had him by a full car by 2nd and then all hell broke loose. HUGE flame out from under the car. RPM dropped off. Pulled off to the side and it sounded like hell and died.

Doesnt appear to be leaking oil. 207K miles and she went out in style. I wont be back out for a while now, but wanted to say thanks for all the help and advise you guys offeered!

ill pour a little bit of my beer on the ground tonight for her. It's probably only fitting that you mount her on the wall after all that beating.

Get me my title for my 71 Camaro, and you'll have a little cash to go towards a rebuild!

I hate to bring this up front here, but I've tried to contact you every other way possible. WHY did you hang up on me once I finally got ahold of you today?!?!?!?! Are you avoiding me for some reason?????? Do you even have a title for my Camaro? I was gonna give you the benefit of the doubt, thinking that you were just hard to get ahold of, but after hanging up on me, I'm pretty sure you're avoiding me. I'm not one to jump to conclusions too fast, so get back to me!!!! I've left multiple voicemails, and many pm's, so you know how to get ahold of me.
