"Milkshaked" another one
"Milkshaked" another one Well boys I milkshaked another one 
Took the car to SRA Transmission to tune it on their new Mustang dyno. We were really conservative on the timing as we only had it at 21*. Previously when I dyno’d at New England Dyno and Tuning I was running a minimum of 24* and then I’d crank it up to 30*. This is not representation of Buddy’s tuning ability it’s just showing a fundamental flaw in my current combo.
The first time I popped a head gasket I just threw a new set of gaskets on, thew a new set of bearings in and fired it up, the second time I “milkshaked” it, I had the heads resurfaced and thew a new set of gaskets on………This time we’ll pull the motor and thoroughly go through it before it goes back together and I’ll most likely change to Cometic head gaskets. Either the deck of the block needs to be cleaned up or I have a cracked head?
At the track I had my best luck (most power and not popping head gaskets) at 28*, every time I cranked it up over 28 it would come home on a flatbed.
Vinny from 860 Performance is going to come over tonight and help me drop the motor, although I am not happy about pulling the motor I am actually looking forward to dropping it out the bottom vs going through all the crap to yank it out the top.
Anyway, the LS-1 has been upgraded to Primary drag car for a while, anything catastrophic and the car sits as we’ve got a little girl on the way

P.S. I wish this was an April fools joke but no luck…….

same picture on both sites, GeoShitty site have bandwith limits so I threw it up on both sites.
Thanks again to Vinny from www.860performance.com for coming over and helping me yank the motor out.

Bob,
It is convienant
Don,
You think 21*'s is too much?
Last year I ran between 21-24 on pump gas all day long and beat the **** out of it without a problem. I started popping head gaskets when started going 29* or over.
What would you run for pump gas? and how about on 104 octane?
AJB,
Thanks, I'm sure we'll hook up for a beer at some point

Don,
You have to understand he uses the regular felpro gaskets so that the head gaskets become the weakest link so it doesn't do any damage to the other more expensive parts.
I have told him more than once that that was a lot of timing and a lot of boost for only 104 octane.
Changing to a cometic gasket it will hold alot more, only thing is something else might break.

I ran felpros as well rob, now I run the gm metal ones and they still tend to let go from time to time.
Soon as we backed my timing down from the 20's it never popped again with the SC

when i was turbo and 9-1 i was running around 24*, but i was running 110 mixed with 104. very rarly did i run pump gas, only if i ran out of race gas.
lifts are great!!!!! im looking into buying a 2 post, i have the drive on, but no 2 post. i want to by it, but my old man doesnt realy want another one in the garage. even tho he only parks in it.

not sure the compression will make much difference. with higher compresion you will just need less boost to make the same power. boost is compresion. plus if you go to low, then she will be a tad slugish out of the hole, around town. maybe not so much with SC, but turbo would be
