The truth has been clearly stated above. Car was on the dyno making pulls, the numbers weren't even close. Mid-pull the motor started spewing oil, and that was that. Now it will not even turn over.
We are still trying to determine exactly what went wrong. This is what we get for making a mad thrash to try and make Thunder. Its a big mistake, but one will have to learn by.

Like it says; you're a man of your word. If you tell me it failed, it failed. If you tell me it ran but not the number you guys wnat right now. Then that's what it did.
If you don't say anything, then it's becuase you're excited and it ran the number that it needs to run for the expressed targets and you're off to go tune the suspension this weekend.
Nothing more and nothing less. You are simply the voice of reason that I was interested in hearing the story from is all that I was saying.

For the record...1004 RWHP 1098 TQ, if and when.
BTW, dont try to trap Nick in a corner, its easier to trap him while he's in the paint booth. ***Warning****, you may get stuffed in the commode.

I forgot you took that shot of our state of the art downdraft block painting booth. You liked the finished product as I recall. I nice candy apple puke sort of color. What I can't figure out is why it looks like I am about to spray it in my direction. Hmmmmm

That aside, I appreciate what you said. The is indeed hurt, and Thunder is 99.9% out of the question. Unless it turned out to be a freak problem that was easily fixable, we simply don't have time to build another engine and get it settled in the car. I am keeping my fingers crossed, but only time will tell. Its in gods hands now!!!

Smoke and mirrors...If you guys spent as much time working on the "shop" car as you guys do hyping BS on the internet it would run 6's.

I am not bashing you am I? Just stating the some of the obvious that is seems its ok for you and your shop to continually hype stuff that never pans out and take shots at others when maybe the house your in is made of glass?
Step up to the plate for once and actually accomplish something first.
Like Thunder..Plenty of time for a competent shop to have taken apart the project and get it back together and head down their. So practice what you preach.
