Japeatr's knocking at the track rebuild thread
So Lone Star Bash was fun times!
Had traction and shifting lockout issues but managed a 13.73 @ 113.6mph on street tires
Based on trap speed, car should be low 12s with a granny 3rd gear shift
After about a dozen runs on spray and a few without spray, I shut the car down to have some beers while DFWGMElite was cleaning up the event. When I fired it up to put it back on the trailer, the engine had a nasty rod knock.
So I dragged it home on the trailer, pulled VC...nothing out of the ordinary, pulled the oil plu...bingo this huge metal flake was on the magnetic drain plug....FML
Time to rebuild again....
Pulled the block, and removed the head, spun number 3 rod bearing. Ruined the crank and all the bearings. Rods need reconditioning

FAQ:
I was spraying nitrous in 2nd and 3rd.
Q: How much boost was it running?
A: 27psi
Q: how much timing?
A: 26*
Q: How high did you rev?
A: 8,000rpm
Q: how much nitrous?!
A: 75 wet starting at 4500 rpm amd going until 7500 rpm
Mods:

Oversized wrist pins
Total Seal Rings
Pauter rods
ARP Rod bolts
ARP Head Studs
Ported Head
ZZP Stage 2 cams (now sold, going with a custom set of cams)

arp timing bolts (have)
Electric Water Pump

Wait so the car went 13.7 and blew up? I don't know if I'd have it in me to rebuild after that 
It took me a while to get over the fact that I blew the side of the block open on the yellow car. GLWRebuild, hopefully you have better luck with the bearings this time around. Any over-revs happen while at the event?

Regarding the low ETs. I was not there for glory numbers ...lol was more tuning the setup
I was on 225/40/18 KDW2s (my street setup) launching to keep wheel spin in check
My biggest hurdle with the ET was the car did not want to shift into 3rd at 8k.
I had turned the stock flywheel and I think that thickness was causing issues with clutch travel on my GMPP
I had a built motor, just found a weak link in it, rebuild and move on... part of racing
The pauter rods were out of Paul (06BlackG85SS) turbo car. ZZP installed them when they assembled the Girdled block. I think the clearances may not have been perfect
Only bummer is I killed my crank with extended keyway
