if you would have read the thread instead of just watching the vid you would realize that this is the video of the run where i blew my motor. i shreaded the wrist pin right out of the piston and bent and snapped a rod, throwing it through the front and back of the block, and cutting right through the girdle.

best time was the run right before i blew... 14.25 @ 99.18 (in my sig)

just read... i was pretty happy with the car and the times. it probably wouldnt have blown if i hadnt accidently reved it to 8500 twice.

i know that.. im just sayin.. at 10psi? it shouldve been quicker than that. id expect a more better time than that..

the 14.8 run...it was bad...but fun. this is the first run with more advance, thus the tire spinage.

cylinder 1 didnt like 8500 rpms and 10 psi.

That is some good work right there. Me, I don't think you can be truly a backyard mechanic until you've got some bent or broken rods hanging up on the wall. Sort of a trial by fire type of deal.

I wish i still had pictures of my VW bug rods from a motor I built when I was 14 - Note to users: a high lift cam and stock valvesprings is not advised.
