Is there a warranty on that head? Did he get it new or used?

he got it brand new. he wasnt even beating it. we were driving down the road. he hit 7000 in 2nd gear, shifted to 3rd and it just let loose. he has enough ---- into that motor so hes gonna part out the whole longblock with all the boltons and internals and build a ls turbo for next season. everything happens for a reason i guess.

brett ill let andy know you still want to slang him that exhaust and ill send you some loot as soon as i come into some. my birthday is thursday so well see what i get...
