Default So we know a Stock Shortblock can handle a 250 dry!

Well had a customer bring his car in to get tuned and said he kept wacking plugs, so we through it on the dyno and made a hit after we got the motor tune worked out and it woke up hard core but went dead lean! So we traced it down the the Fuel Solenoid not working So basically hes been hitting a 250 dry about 5 times now!

Hmmm, guess that answers the question of "wet vs. dry" thread.

Wow, that's amazing that it held together, as the clyinder pressures must have been outrageous. What was the a/f ? Yea, I like to run my 250rwhp dry hit, on stock longblock, way rich.

Hahahaha, same **** happened to a buddy of mine on a 200 shot, except it just ran a lot slower and never had any problems, the o2's just like went to 000, a buddy of mine looked at it and was like wtf!!!!!! And then he traced it to the same ****, fuel noid not working, can't understand how they didn't blow with 0 extra fuel being added in since it's goin in behind the maf, crazy ****!

I've done that a few times. I contribute it not blowing to there not being enough fuel to feed the fire basically. My AFR had went off the chart, instantly spiking above 20:1 and not dropping until, well, after the run since I was thinking it was flooding out Sucks when you find out you nearly melted the entire racetrack down with molten LSx engine aluminum. Then the amazement sets in that nothing melted, and you think to yourself, now I know why I bought the Bowtie! Good to hear you got it sorted out.

BTW, I also ran a 200wet with a ruptured intank fuel supply line, fuel pressure was almost nonexistant. Did that twice, would start hard, idle seemingly fine, and on the run would fall on its face, spraying loads of nitrous and hardly any fuel!
