#3 goes KABOOM!

didn't want to say anything b4 i knew for sure,

but the weekend b4 last i blew out a plug at the track, forgot to switch to my nitrous program which pulls 4 degrees of timing.

i made a few passes on the race program to see what she'd do without the 50 shot,

then i went to do my 11 sec pass and get thrown out, and forgot to switch programs

results are here



good news is thats all i did, except for the blown header gasket

i imagine it got pretty hot when the plug blew

So even the BR7's are susceptable, huh? Almost need
a "CURRENT A/F GAUGE" to fix this instead of a "BOOST
GAUGE".

Hope you get it back running strong, Beef ...

Beef,

Sorry to hear that. It was just the plug and not the head right? What track did it happen at? I was under the understanding Tri-state closed for the season.

plug wasn't bad, it's just i was running way to much timing for the power i was making

btw, i coasted to an 11.93, lol , almost coasted from the 1000 faster than my best ever rofl
