Well I finally took my engine apart and its not a pretty sight. #1 exhaust valve let go during the burnout at ATCO when i raced Jonathon. I felt something let go but still went thru the run. 12.7 on 7 cylinders aint bad but I killed 2 pistons (#1 piston has a large hole where the valve exited), #2 piston got ruined from the bottom when the valve said howdy off the crank.2 connecting rods (bent), a block and the head is junk as well. I have only one person to blame and that is Tommy, he told me a 50 shot wouldnt hurt anything. Did he mean during the burnout ?? lol
I dont have the parts to be ready for BG, so all you 10 second f*ckers can have at it. I thought about bringing the 06 3valve, but 12.4 wont cut the mustard. Good luck to all, kick butt and may the best man win.

Thanks Louis and Chalie for the offered help but another fellow F/S racer which wishes to remain nameless at this time has lent me his bullet. Its a very old FS piece but its alot better than what I have. If I finish getting in tomorrow and get it to run without a tune, then i might just be there for the duet for Kelly.
