Figured we would make one last trip to the track for the year and try for that 9 second pass.
We make the hou and a half trip, make my first pass... Take it easy and it run's 10.49@128 on a 1.6 60ft time.
Get around for the second pass and figure I would give it hell. Do a big ole nasty burnout and stage it up. Launch hard but it's spinning... Feels like the best run I've ever had, it's hauling ass.... About 60ft out BOOM!!!!!
As far as I can tell, I broke the crank, and at least one rod. I have one hole in the oil pan and the crank looks like it's a litle crooked. I destroyed the balancer, and the brand new 8" vortech pulley I just bought it ruined because I drug it and the balancer under the car for about 20ft trying to get off the track.
So it's broke, I should know more tomorrow when I get the motor out. Gonna have lots of parts for sale soon, vortech is going, and I'm hoping the heads are still in good shape.
At least the first 60ft felt like a 9 second run.
