I think you are looking at the residue from the race gas on the pistons.

I wonder how many passes it has been leaking. It looks like it was at least a couple.

All the white looking residue is from running leaded fuel. Not sure why it do's this but it look's the same as mine did after running leaded fuel as well.

Shawn, what plans do you guys plan on making to his new setup? If you don't mind sharing?


Also, if you guys go to a bigger turbo, do you plan on upping the cubes? At what point are you worried @ spooling issues when class racing?


Currently getting my chassis done for a big turbo setup, but will prob just do a cheapy 346 setup till I get everything else done.

106?? be nice to see you guys pushing a LS2 block (ok one with a fair bit of work) to over 2000bhp!

might also make people think about the real need for the LSX block to......
