So who is buying one of theae bada$$ kits besides me?? I really think this is the last chance for 4 gen f body owners to own a kit that actually works for once. I don't see another company steeping up anytime soon to compete with kit for r cars

I think you are 100% correct. If this was the route I wanted to go, this would be the kit for me. I just need to make a decision on which route I want to go. I thought I knew, then this came about.
Again, nice kit guys. Hat's off!

We took the car to the track last night.
The guys got the shift points dialed in and installed a 2 step.
The 60 foot improved but the motor laid over just after it shifted
into high gear.

The first trip to the track it ran 128 MPH, this time it went quicker but only ran
125 MPH. The car has got some 10.70's in it.

But unfortunately we will never know, the motor in done.
We drove it to the track 70 miles and broke a piston and drove it home.

A 408 is on order.
Enough ***** footen around, it is on like Donkey Kong!!!!

Oh by the way guys that was a Jasper remaned motor in the car!!!!

The owner don't mind buying what it needs.
The new motor will be in the car as fast as it can be done.
I'm guessing 6 weeks or so?
Maybe the weather will cool off around hear by then, maybe..

Why did it let loose? Tune? Meth problem?

And what does it having a Jasper reman in it have to do with anything?

I wouldn't let the same tuner touch the new engine, no reason the stock stuff couldn't have gone 130 + on a good tune for many passes with proper octane fuel. Did this have stock springs and pushrods?

I doubt the pistons in the reman are the same quality as the stock GM pistons.
I suspect it butted a ring and got a ring land.
Adrian went through about 3 gallons of washer fluid in the first week he had the car after
we got it tuned.
He is hell on everything he drives.
The motor smoked a little before we put the kit on the car, is was all ready very tired.

I just found out from the guys why the motor failed......

Brand new meth pump died in the middle of that pass. It caused the engine to kill a piston.

That sucks. It was a AIS kit correct? Was the meth used as a fuel or just safety?

I agree but if you don't have E85 available to you and you want to run pump gas you don't really have a lot of options.

washer fluid is only 20% methanol so in this case it would be more about lowering intake air temps then adding fuel.
