When I saw your boom video it looked pretty scary. Where you the car in right lane in Taner's vid that got super loose at the end of the track?
How did you hook up with Don, I thought he lived in the South 'burbs of Chicago.

4.10's yeh. It was a melling hv pump.
Good news is that so far turbo stuff is all fine, lifters fine, rockers fine, 7 pistons fine, head is very minor, valves are all okay, etc. Not going to be bad to put it back together...just the dry sump will be $$$ but oh well pay to play.

Damn man that sucks. At least you kept the car off the wall.
I have been running an accumulator on my motors for 2 years now with no starvation issues. Just something to think about if you can't swing the drysump setup for a while.
Get those gears out of there...

And the 4.10's are coming out...haha but hey it made for interesting launches with a 2.54 first gear, 4k and 10 lbs on the brake, and the 4.10 out back with the little 28's.

unfortunate but at 160mph,... well, thats moving brotha. I find myself always eyeing the oil pressure gauge for things like this though sometimes, you do everything right and somthing goes wrong. Oh well, your ok, you rebuild and you keep breaking those personal records..
That accumulator idea... is that like an extra oil "pan", circulating clean/cool oil when needed?
