I love seeing pictures of bad ass cars' carnage! Nice job manny/jeremy! Can't wait to see that car at the track too.

[manny]

I can't say I am proud :( but shit happens and that's racing. It was overpowered though. All the plugs still had there ends and the pistons looked great on the top. The a/f mixture was right on the money even when it went off the chart.
It won't be back together for fri. thats for sure. We have never had this much distruction. But we got our moneys worth out of the rods, this was going to be there fourth year in action.

[StangTamer]

:( Man just when I thought you guys were getting to a point of no major breakage. I hate to see that happen, especially that bad. I hope you guys get it back together soon.

[Relinquished]

[Turd]

I believe they said a rubber hose that goes to the wastegate melted and hence produced the full boost the gate could allow.

[superlopez]

Ouch

[MR TINFOIL HAT]

Damn! I feel for your manny. How much hp can the oliver billets handle? I heard you set the dyno record at speedworks:D

[JamesB]

Just bring it over my house. I welde'r back up! ;)

[SVTVenom]

Dang man! :eek: You know there was some serious stuff goin on when Oliver Billet rods get fucked up like that!

[92AWDTalon]

Damn dude!

[98DSM]

Glad you got it back together so quickly. That's some major carnage...I was hoping it was only the HG that let go :(

[Jimbo]

I'm cringing over here. Good luck with getting it back together.

It's not back together and it may be a little while before it is back together. We have a little thinking and debating to do.
