It's official, original LS motor final blew...
well. 170k+ miles on the bitch. 10k+ boosted miles, and 9 months of fun has finally come to an end. i went out to some local street races tonite and things jus didn't feel right, 2 runs and the bitch gave up. tickin after the race, then boom on the ride home, 2 hour wait for tow truck. xtra ls motor in the garage, gonna have it in hopefully by next week and its gonna stay NA for a while. gonna keep the turbo kit for a future project i guess... i think it went cuz the rings were already gone, it was burning oil like krazee, still pulled okay so i kept racin it, then pop. ill take pics of the karnage when i take it apart maybe this weekend, jus wanted to share.
