not to jack your thread, but is that blue cobra guy running his mouth about running 12s @ 119 mph on drag radials? that is a joke to be running his mouth.

 

I assume that's who he's talking about. funny he didn't talk **** to me when I ran 10.95 @ 127

 

I think the guy with the cobra lives in Lamar Missouri or he is there alot he has a KB supercharger and a few other things done to it. Every time I see him at the street races or at the track he acts like and talks like he is the fastest thing around I just would like to see him get beat by a chevy and it sounds like your car could do it. That picture is bad *** I hope my car will do that one day. Did you do all the work to your car yourself? What kind of tranny and rearend do you have?

 

update:

compression check came back fine on all cylinders 175+ on each. pulled the intake and all the ports were washed clean except #7 which almost looked like it had mud in it. a oil/coolant residue.
I'm thinking I'm f'd and my block is cracked or worse.

time for a 409 I guess.

 

well, I jumped the gun a little. pulled a head and it looks like a blown gasket. time to pull the other side and replace it all. yea

 

Cool I was just about to say do a leakdown before you pull the heads but you are already there.

 

Mike is right. A leakdown will tell you if you have blown head gaskets on either bank.

 

I just wondered if this was a symptom that appeared out of the blue, or after a build/tear-down etc... it wasn't really clearly stated in the post, so I'll assume it was a symptom that just popped up on you out of the blue.

Sounds like you've got it handled now anyway.

 

I assumed the compression check would show a blown gasket. I was wrong!!

it kinda appeared out of the blue... tuned it and ran it 12 times at the track. ran great. got new bests all the passes over last time out. then I was taking people for rides on the street and the temp gauge was all over the place.
