If some of you remeber my thread about racing those SRTs, this is the sequil to that. The fastest SRT out there that night (298 whp) beat me pretty good. I told him I want a rematch with race gas. Well it happened, the result.... his car about 3 car lenths behind mine at 145 mph Tell me how is it possible for my car to put 3 cars on a 298 whp SRT if it has less than 300 whp (according to Ljavy17)? Anywho, my cars prolly got around 100 whp now since I blew the motor while racing the SRT. I hate GM
Oh, heres a video of "The War"

might still be converting...

 

confused sorry lol the first time you raced you blew your motor, or this time you blew your motor? Did the pistons go, head gasket was it a result of the ported blower, tune? Sorry for the questions I have the similar setup as you so I just wanted an idea thanks....

 

No I blew my motor tonight

 

that sucks.....

 

wow that sux man. didn't you just say in a post a couple days ago how the 2.6 is safe?? whats the plans for the beast now??

 

Dang the vid is optimizing...I'm also interested to know what failed as far as the motor. Did you guys have a seperate tune for race gas?

 

Now your sign-on name is accurate in two ways (no, seriously, I was justtrying to make you smile because I can imagine how pissed you are right now)

 

welcome to the club... sorry to here another lsj bites the dust

 

Sorry to hear your motor blew dude. It looks like I'm going to have to start dumping money into mods, some of you guys are just getting wicked fast.

 

if thats the case then i am not to far off lol

 

So I take it a 2.6" is not a very safe pulley size to run? I thought everyone said it was ok, wtf... Were u running lean? How much PSI were u running when u blew it up? Was it the racing gas???

 

When is the video going to be up? I clicked on it about half an hour ago and it was still optimizing for streaming.

 

same here!

 

That's sweet, but not sweet for the blown motor. I want to see the video!

 

Damn man ... sucks... but hey these things happen (and thats why I keep a spare motor too) hey maybe with the new motor u can get a 13.99 lol.....


sorry about that one... just had to do it.

stupid no videos at work.. at leats I"m leaving early today, and if it doesn't take me 3 hrs to get home in this damn snow storm, I hopefully will remember to watch it

 

dang thats crazy I wonder if was because you were overboosting cuz you do have a small pulley and a ported blower maybe the ecotec couldnt handle it

 

Glad to hear that you beat the SRT-4, but sorry to hear about the motor. Do you know what you broke? Were you seeing KR? Too lean? I'm just curious on the details.

 

That sucks man, same thing happened to me, sounded like rev limiter and popped the hood to find oil everywhere. Turns out it was just a head gasket. At least I hope, I will be firing up the engine for the first time tonight so I guess we'll see.

What are your plans now?

 

that sucks bro, but I must say, your car sounds pretty good for blowing a piston ring

 

It works!!!!

 

just wondering if you had a wideband in the car and if you did what was your A/F like (if you were watching) ?

 

Yea, the wideband was the second gauge on the pod it looks like.

 

i find that most engines and even motors run their best right before they blow up.. all of my go-peds were like that.. they would scream for a day or so.. i think "hey i tuned the hell out of this bitch". and then.. ting-ting-pop done....

sorry to hear about your engine.. is their goin to be a funeral?

 

I was filming. His AF was good. It must have been just a piston ring. Had blowby and the dipstick popped and oil went ****** nuts everywhere. About 2 quarts. haha.

 

Was he getting KR?
