Did this happen under normal driving? Where did you get the tuning done?

Its had a hard life, i only use it as a toy, when the piston earned its hole i was launching it. Its made countless passes at the strip (with about 10 NOS passes as well) and ive used it to test clutches for mike l.. So i expected this at some point.. Lbzrcks tuned it with the mcrat race tune.. It ran a 7.91 on the engine last time at the track, you know they say things go the fastest before they blow!:spit:

Aint that the truth. Mine went its fastest exactly one month before it let go.
