White Whale VS Vagon (no spray mostly gay)
 
Met up with my buddy last night for a pull. He has a builts HECI ported blower Vagon.

The cars:

The pull:


That motor had a good run with tons of abuse, it was only a matter of time. Hope to have something up and running by next spring.

Moral of the story:
If the pull don't feel right, abort and take the small L instead of the big L. :)

Nice kill DD car rolls out hard. Hopefully it is a simple fix brother. Nothing worse then see a car hurt.

Thanks Philly, hope it just needs pistons (which I have) but nothing is ever that easy for me. lol

At least you won before it gave up the ghost, good luck mang.

ohioborn80 05-14-2018 08:52 AM

Nice kill. And hopefully it didnt take blower and heads out too

islander033 05-14-2018 09:48 AM

Just big blow by that I can see so far. #3 is fucked for sure.

I'm confident the blower is good, heads/block are yet to be determined...

thats why Ls swap!

islander033 05-14-2018 10:25 AM

LS10 would be ok with a blower or terbo...

As expected lsa with eveything done gets gapped by a SLB 5.4.

Aluminum block

Let's be honest, who has the self restraint to lift and take a loss?

Sucks about the engine failure but good thing it's a shop sponsored build ;)

BlkMach1 05-14-2018 11:00 AM

Sorry to hear about motor. Good kill on V.

Mod motor with 7 cyl did OK I guess vs full sausage LSA.

If this iron block is fucked, yes.

Tanks mang!

MACHXLR8 05-14-2018 11:43 AM

Damn...Good run but that sucks about the motor! Sorry man.
At least you did not window the block so maybe there is some hope that it is nothing catastrophic. Regardless, I am curious what let go. Post up some pics when you find the culprit.

ForceFedC5 05-14-2018 12:16 PM

Sorry about your loss (of the engine)

sorry about the motor. they have limits. IMO you have the creds to put a real motor in that. forget an iron block. 1200-1300hp is not enough. get you a gt motor. we chatted about a terbo. the iron NVH block has a 1200-1300 crank hp limit that is regardless of how its made.

you get a GT block and that thing can be far quicker than your cobro. the nice thing is, it fits like well,,,,its designed to be in there unlike a fox/fox4/new edge. just sayin.
