Damn...what are you trying to do......intentionally blow up this motor we built for you????

You crushed my time....I am proud of you. 10's are so close I bet you can taste it now. 133mph with an unclean pass is just terrific.!

This Beetch aint blowing up anytime soon. If this car can run all day long with 256 degree temps running 170mph plus on the back stretch of VIR. A couple of Drag runs isnt going to hurt her. When I put the old plenum on she (the car) was ready for more. Just to make sure everything was in order I layed two black beautiful strips on I95 in fourth.

I am just surprised that nothing damaging was injested into the engine. Looks like the plenum imploded on itself.

Well, I guess we know a thing or two about building them to stay together.

Me too! I finshed the run (1/4) in 4th, adn raped her on the way home and the motor did not blow up. So that was my check to see all was good!

Yeah it was scary...I went "Boom: and saw my hood bend upwards, all I could think of was poor Joe working hard on my new motor .But she kept on going. Meth is bad ***!
