    The findings

    Heres what Mike found so far.

    I am not blaming anyone. Period. The car ran a 10.60. This is what happens when you push stock parts to the limits. Shit breaks.

    So dont noone be in here pointing fingers.

    How much total timing? What octane? What A/F ratio were you tuned for?

    Not sure on the timing or A/F ration. SGS tuned but it was tuned for 110 and thats what was in it. The timing and A/F were on the safe side though.

    I know when I blew one of mine right before Carlisle this year, it rattled for about half a second and I had an antifreeze coated windshield. This this should have melted pistons by looking like this.


    This was right before my tune and the BTM failed. I hit a full 30* timing with 14psi boost. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
