Thanks guys,, Yeah I wussed out and had my machinist assemble the short block after the squirter screw ordeal because I was just too busy and in a hurry to get the truck back on the track to finish the summer races. They assembeled the shortblock and I just slapped the heads and intake and valve train in it. So unless I find a failed 'part' this one is on the machine shop / engine builder. He's a stand up guy that he will take care of me. Parts fail,,, it's racing and that s**t happens, but this is built for 7500 / 750+HP,, and I'm only spinning 6600 (1-2) and 6800 (2-3) . If it's an assembly error it's just a winter project to get her back making noiuse,,, and the Nova will get ready for next January season opener.
I'll say one thing tho.. she may have been slow in the 5800' air ar SIR,, but she went out looking good
