I thought I would pass on a picture of how my weekend went. Obviously not very good. The SS really ran great. Used just a 150 shot. Found out that I'm geared way to high/low for the 150 shot. I ran out of gear (I presently run 4.30's) by the 1000 foot mark, after that it was just engine. Rev limiter is set at 6900, nitrous shuts off at 6800. Still ran a best ever for the 150 shot: 1/8 mile 6.491 at 107.639, 1/4 mile 10.177 at 130.866. The other runs were 1.47 60' 10.188 at 127.374; 1.497 60' 10.187 at 130.059 - I have a nitrous bracket car . The "wheely" run's 60' was a 1.42 from the back tires.

Not sure all what broke. It seemed upon landing that the oil pan got pushed up into the engine and possibly cracked the block. Only thing that ran out onto the track and in the pits was water/anti-freeze. We'll tear out the engine this week and see what needs to be done.

We'll also be changing out gears - possibly 3.90 or 4.10's.

For MadMan - if Brian reads this - I did hook .

Thanks guys, I posted the video in another trend.

I Know, I know. This will NOT happen again. Live and learn. All day 6-10" wheelies. Where that one came from is beyond me.

Big wheelies suck First nitrous pass and my car also went on the bumper. There went my 427 block, oil pan, and Kooks headers . Definitely investing in the Madman bars, travel limiters and possibly wheelie bars.

You did exactly what I did...wasn't expecting it and lifted too much. Get her fixed and good luck with the new combo. I wish I had a video from the outside like yours, which looked cool! Madman's SYAB (Save Your *** Bars) helped out a lot. Take care. Dave

Thanks everyone. Looks like the block cracked all the way through to the cyl walls. I'm order a different short block. Hopefully will continue on with my quest by month's end.

I would also like to introduce my builder/fabricator - copbait - Joey has worked his *** off on this car over the years. For being mainly a turbo guy, he has done great. I think this surprised him just as much as it did me - he was right beside the SS when it took off.

This really sucks. The SS was running so damn good. Oh well. I'll be back!!!
