same forum, but its ok its over now.. i believe i will run exhibition and maybe a couple grudges if anyone is interested between rounds.. i'm just waiting for a confirmation from the powers that be.

 

Thanks Dave

found it...... u put that flex hose in there yet??? She tuned???

Kyle

 

no, i didnt use flex hose, i just moved where the bracket was..

With everything bolted to the motor and isolated from the frame (like it used to be) things will continue to not crack.

update on the car, something is broken in the motor. everything was good with the tune i really dont know what happened yet, havent looked at it. but it did go 147.97 mph spinning.. i think thats the most mph for any ls1 6 speed maybe?

 

did you drive it back?
how broke?

 

metal in the oil type of broke, thats all i know so far

no i didnt drive it back, didnt want to do any further damage

 

That really really really sucks, dont you have a W2W motor?

Im sure they will tkae care of you, they seem to be pretty standup.

Sucks to hear though, seems like no matter what you do there is a small kink.
I guess thats what happens when you are pushing the very mlimits of things.

hope for the best

 

thanks

its most likely that i had some bad detonation and broke a piston... but why i don't know yet

 

What did it run, what tires were you on, and what were your 60fts? Thas some AWESOME mph!!! Sorry about the motor, hopefully its not too bad and is pretty easily (read: inexpensively) fixed.

Shawn

 

dang sorry to hear about that. That is some SICK MPH though.

 

was spinning in the middle of the track all of my 3 passes.. some vid may pop up eventually.. i didnt record any myself.

60' was 1.85 et was 10.4

tires are 27*11.5 hoosier qtp DOT's. 10psi

 

damn..... time to go to a full slick also huh?????? ET Drag??? That sucks about the motor man.... when ya going to take the heads off??
Kyle

 

full slick on a street car? i dont think you are allowed to do that?

 

Sucks to hear Dave. Ur mph is moving. Think it may be ur stock crank? Kurt in a post before mentioned you keep him scared keeping it. While tuning you get any dyno #'s with the new turbo?
While we all know this is what happens when we push the bar higher and higher. Hope its a cheap fix.

 

I'll drive the wheels/tires, jack, and lug wrench to the track in my buddy's truck for ya and we can pull 'em for yer ride home.

 

i dont think it was the crank, but it don't matter, i know kurt and the guys will fix it up good.

i didnt get any new dyno figures i only finished the set up thursday night. based on the psi and the mph even with the spinning it would have to be around a grand at the tires.

i have a feeling i wont be trying that much again without race fuel

 

you were spraying your meth wernt you? sucks either way

damn

 

yes spraying meth on 93 octane

ive got melted aluminum in my headers and pieces of piston in my exhaust housing

 

were you running really lean or something, I cant imangine you burning up a piston, that going to be a rather expensive rebuild id bet if you have melted parts

 

I hope you didnt hurt the turbo any, you just got that didnt you?
man this could be bad, hopefully it isnt

 

yes i did, and yes it didi certainly didnt set up the tune lean, maybe the meth didnt spray? i dont know yet.

wot AFR was set up to be about 10.8
