907DAVE will become famous soon enough
Default First time out.....

and I was a little disappointed, but still had a lot of fun.


First pass I left the line waaayyy to soft and turned a 14.01 at 100.6. Next pass I launched a bit too hard and had the truck hopping for a second, let off and rolled back in and got a 13.62 at 101.2.



Next pass I left around 14 psi, launch felt very strong, then pop......... and engine shook like crazy, so I let off and coasted the rest of the way and got a 14.03. After the pass the engine ran terrible and had the classic popping out the intake sound..........oooops must have bent a pushrod or broke a rocker.





Towed it back to the shop and tore it down to see what happened, and yep broke both rockers on the #1 cylinder, which is the same hole that tossed the rod on the original engine and popped the head gasket on the new one.






Here is the video of the second pass.......
