went up to the barona 1/8 mile drags last Sat. night to have a little fun.my best time before with the 347 in the 1/8 was a 7.67 at 88mph with a 1.7060' which happen once with an average of 7.7 or 7.8's at 89. on my first pass with the new turbo kit i ran a 7.34 @ 97.6 with a 1.82 60' leaving at 2000rpms with the transmission shifting at 5000rpms on its own. second pass i left the line at 2500 and shifting at 6000rpms and ran 7.187 @98.6 with a 1.75 60'. third pass i left at 3000rpms and pulled a 1.66 60' and ran a 7.10 at 98.6. its really unbelievable how fast you start moving when the turbo starts to spool and when the tires don't spin
all the runs were done at 11.1-11.2 a/f so i took out one size jet in the front and rear and headed for the lanes again trying for that 7.0 or 6.99 pass.
i took off hard hit second gear and noticed some smoke coming out in the rear then noticed smoke coming out of the hood so i shut down and coasted through the rest of the 1/8 mile. when i stopped rolling dustin and i inspected the damage. one very important vacuum line came off the wastegate as i was making the pass.
i broke down about 10:30pm then called for a tow truck which didn't get to us till 3am. last night Dustin and I pulled the motor and found holes in pistons #1,#4, #5 and #8.
