It's over!!!!!!!
 

Well, I am offically done for the year. :cry: The motor started knocking and then lost all oil pressure! I turned it off right after the oil pressure dropped, but just after there was a shit load of knocking! :( Had to tow her home.

Will be back in 07 with a blown 408ci :eek2:

Here are some final pics I took of it from my phone. Broke down on I55

Oh no, I'm so sorry!

Just look at the bright side. It happened at the end of the season(Just one week to soon though), and you now have a good reason to make some serious power next year.

That sucks. Bigger and Better for next year:)

Ya, it sucks. But it was better that it happened close to home, rather then in michigan!

find out what the cause was?

Well, the oil pump took a shit that I know. And I am pretty sure it friend my bearings. The motor had bad rings. So I am not going to dump any money in this motor. Just going to piece it out, and go with the 408

Sorry to here that it happened b4 mim,was lookin forward to seeing it run with some good tires.

Yep, I just picked up another set of slicks, earlier in the damn week too. O'well what are ya going do!

Give me the old ones to do some nice burnout's in next weekend. :jest:

why 408

No reason in particular. Just like the results that I see with em.

Jay, we're going to be doing a 408 iron block with an F1 Procharger, ill let you know how it turns out and what the total cost is. Sorry to hear she finally let go too.

Were you expecting it to go and it finally did or was this a total surprise? I'm really sorry to hear its broke. But like everyone else said just a good excuse to go bigger and better.

Good luck!

Should be 800+ RWHP! :)

I'd hope so, the shitty ringed 04 z06 block was making 550 with a P1 :judge: . It was smoking more then a mesquito sprayer :bang:

I was expecting it to go. But was not expecting it to go that night. I figured it would last long enough to get a few runs in at the track. But that obviously was not so.

Ya, I def want to know how it comes. Just keep me updated!

P.S. I am sending ya a pm.

sorry to hear Jay, i already went through a short earlier this year as you know.

but i made passes at GLD friday nite, finally got the car working right again, new bests in 60 foot, ET and MPH:)

Well, fill in those numbers!

i will after RSD:D

its got alot more in it anyway, finally got it to work down the track so i could find out what i need to do to go even faster, and now I know. wish i could have done it in July on the two trips I made that failed tho. fuck.
