I have kept up with your car a bit, always been very impressed. As afar as the nitrous goes, I don't think it was a weak piston, I think it was the 30 degrees even on race gas. These motors need less timing than the gen 1 sbc etc.. I didn't believe it until I started trying it, granted there is a sweet spot but it's always best to start low and bring the timing in slowly. Sorry to hear about the loss, I was really hoping to see this car in the low, low 9s...

Good luck with your next build, I'm sure it will be a monster!
