They did ask why I was running open headers. I told them its through a full exhasut and the guy didnt believe me until I started it and he stood behind it. I got a race setup this weekend with some bike. I think its a cbr600rr but I'm not sure.

a friend of mine at work has a CBR600... its pretty quick, but i think you might be able to hang, if you go from a roll, take it up to like 140mph, those bikes usually start hanging behind after about 120mph for some reason

Your right josh I read that **** last night and would be happy around 400 with pump. Alchy injection would be introduced with it so it would be like running 106/107. Time will tell. I dont care about the 4 door anymore, it would be nice to have the extra room
wtf are you asking opinions for, looks like you just answered your own question lol

Kerrys Care Car at 43rd and Olive

I'm heading over to Ryans to take a look at it after my damn pizza gets here. So far it looks like a broken connecting rod on #5. You can hear it clangin around when you bar the motor over. Every 180* or so it gets very hard to turn. I still think that the LS1 swap is the answer.

Brett- Do the right thing....C5 or bust.

Have you attempted to start it or anything??? Does the starter attempt to do anything???

Did you pull the plugs, or were you just building compression when you were turning it over???

How does a car break a rod just sitting in a garage, it doesn't make sense...And he would have heard it when it came apart when driving it...

good point... first it was the spark plug shooting out, then it got pissed off one night in the garage and busted one of its connecting rods

or maybe he revved hard when it ran, busted the rod, and sent the piston flying into the spark plug/valves... if it even was the #5 plug that flew out, i cant remember...
