Hopefully that's all you cracked. Rods & crank went bye bye on me that way.

Still trying to figure it out But I am getting myself in the poor house/divorce court with this need for speed. So I may have to detune it a little.

So is the piston cracked? Dude that sucks. I was wondering why I haven't heard from you in a while.

Bruce,
I hope that you are just kidding around. I would hat to see you sell the car over this.
Do you need a place to stay on the 10th and 11th. Bring the wife down so we can get mine and your together again so they can go out shopping or something like that.

Good luck on the poor house/divorce court. I know how that goes. Sometimes it gets awfully frustrating when you spend money just to cause you to spend more money. Good luck, what ever you decide to do. Look at the good side though. Even stock, you are still faster than most of the cars on the road. Good luck.
