Update!
Brent blew his engine in the lights. It let go big time.24# boost evidently wasn't enough for him so he jacked up higher & that's all she wrote. 02's were safe & no knock. So he went for it. The engine had been run to death & had over 150,000 miles on the bottom end.I suspect a main cap broke & from what I'm hearing pieces of the crank were laying at the end of the track. So may it R.I.P. He's a man on a mission.What that may be I'm not sure ? Someone let me know? I also suspect that his girl friend will be happy.Now he can pay more atten to her. She's pretty enough to compete with any other woman. But not with his Buick LOL

I don't think there was a big turn out because of the rain threat. It started raining in my area about 2.00 pm & I said screw it & didn't go myself.

yea.. sounds like it from what brent and ray stated... but you can only push it so far... i know he will be back stronger, so i'm looking into getting a different cam and a 3.5 or 4 in down pipe to try to stay in front of him

I decided to help him out with another engine. I have enough pieces laying around to make it happen. His dream is to make it to bowling Green in march He sure has a lot of spirit & that I admire. Like I said he's a man on a mission. Can't seem to talk him into a V/8 though. Said he doesn't want to be considered a traitor.yea.. sounds like it from what brent and ray stated... but you can only push it so far... i know he will be back stronger, so i'm looking into getting a different cam and a 3.5 or 4 in down pipe to try to stay in front of him
nice! now he has a reason to build something killer/ more killer As soon as I get the elky to the track, i'll probably end up the same way, as long as the peices dont go through my paint, i'll walk away with a smile good job brent, show that engine who controls who!!! pics, pics, pics, pics.......

I don't think that you have anything to worry about. Your car runs hard. Unless I can talk him into the V/8 we pulled out of Bob's car.yea.. sounds like it from what brent and ray stated... but you can only push it so far... i know he will be back stronger, so i'm looking into getting a different cam and a 3.5 or 4 in down pipe to try to stay in front of him

Thanks Lou.. i think the 3in DP is holding me back a little...
have him stick with a 109.. not the V8

Probably, Try & find a 3.5 Houston pipe some where.That would be my choice. that is unless you have a four bolt flange .Then aThanks Lou.. i think the 3in DP is holding me back a little...

custom one has to be made. I have had to make them on several occasions. A pain in the butt to be sure. It's always easier to just buy something that fits.
