I learned a lot from these guys . The blue square body was air to air intercooled 5.3 and the white S-10 was waster to air under the intake hat . I think it was a 4.8 with 2 small turbos . I was down on power and didn't want to risk killing a motor with my on the edge nitrous tune up . Both great guys . Think my big tire project is going LS single turbo on E85 now .

Well I had a points lead in super pro / box class going into this weekend . We rain delayed until about noon and they put us a great track together . After second time trial I was changing my 2 step point from 3900 to back to 3600 . and forgot to disconnect the fuel pump. Hydro locked the motor with fuel . Pulled the plugs , and blew the fuel out , but man it started smoking . I worked my way down to 12 cars in super pro or box class Saturday night . Got up sunday thinking I was headed into a good day of racing . Well that went down hill quick . Appearently o broke the starter bolt off in the block by the outside ear . and the second bolt bent right after first round . I was double teched in no box/footbrake and box class . And was the last car up there . We rolled upder the tower and I crawled under the truck and held the starter in place while a buddy started it up . I was rattled badly and in a rush to get suited up and belted in . I was .039 to his .013 and went 6.424 on a 6.41 dial . he slid across the finish line with the front brakes locked for the win. I jacked it up and got the broke bolt off and a new set of bolts put in . Last car in the staging lane for round 2 in super pro . Ended up being .010 red . Brought it back to the pits and when I killed it and it hydro locked again . Found the back float stuck open.

I tore into it today . I checked the fuel pressure and it was dead on 6.5 psi . Drained the tank , cleaned the filter ( wasn't bad ) . Then pulled the rear bowl . Float level was to high . I miss read the instructions . It said fuel to the bowl inspection plug threads and 2 turns . This meant 2 flats or ad 1/3 turn. Once I left ( the starting line ) the fuel pump would force it to spill over making it just rich enough to kill some numbers . Then when the motor would use enough to lower the level it would run out the back clean. Should be good to go . Going out Friday to test and make 1/4 mile passes to see if I can get enough cylinder heat to reseal the rings.

Redemption 12.0 no prep . What a great time . Runner up in 7.0 Friday night . Lost on a double breakout and got to 6 cars in 6.50 index Saturday and spun , but was less than a half a car at the finish for the loss. Had a great time , met some new friends and came home with some money .
