So last month I had a little incident on the half mile. I ran the same tune I did last fall when I ran 11.2 on the 1/4 mile, mostly because it's been an extremely busy year so far and haven't had a chance to do much with the car. I guess 14 degrees peak timing on 35 psi with standard ARP's was just a bit too much for the Felpro composite. Side by side with a ZR1 and I wasn't lifting, maybe 100 or so feet before the finish I lost power and a cloud of steam poured out. Blew off the lower rad hose, ballooned the rad and blew off the coolant line to the oil cooler.







Melted a small spot in the head but I managed to salvage it. This is the original head to my car and probably the last original drivetrain part in the car. I ground out the melted spot till I hit fresh material and welded it back in, leaving plenty of material to make sure there were no low spots after getting the head resurfaced.

OEM MLS this time around.



She's been all back together for a few weeks now, went and did the first try on the 1/4 mile a week ago, 11.5 @ 126 for the first pass of the year, revving it out to 8500, then the rain moved in. Can't wait to go back and turn the boost back up and see what she'll really do this year.
