Haha, your right, I'm new at tuning blower cars.
Thanks for trying to make it sound like some major catostophic failure, but the car is back on the road doing great. Turned out the Racetronics pump failed, and took out a head gasket. Thats racing, care to line up next to it this season?

I lifted half track and still ran 9.97 @ 67MPH. You barely made it into the 10's with a full run.
A foolish little girl would not lift and risk putting a car into the wall on a day when it was gusting into 40-50 mph winds and the temp was in the high 30's. I still ran a 10.15 that day little girl.

Just make sure you win against my car that's 700 lbs heavier with a little stock shortblock v6, or I'll never let you live it down. I was not trying to make it sound like a catastrophic failure, just wondering wtf went wrong to make it pop at only 14 lbs.

I just noticed the 14 lbs of boost part, how did you melt the plugs with low boost? I ran a stock motor in my GN on 93, without meth, up to 24 lbs with no knock, made 150-200 passes on that motor and pulled it running. At 14 lbs there must have been a serious tuning issue to cause that much damage. If it was bad enough to melt plugs, I'd bet the rod bearings aren't so healthy either.
Did your GN run similar times to Chris's Corvette ?

The car has been on par in the 1/8th with his, albeit with my old engine combo. 1/4 mile times should be comparable. I'm testing some stock block stuff on my own car currently, for development on customers' cars, but I'll give him a hell of a run. These guys know I love to bust chops, I'm sure chris has cursed my name more than a couple times

24 PSI on 93 octane with a stock Buick motor and no knock.. at what 7:1 air fuel and 10 degree's timing?
Artie.. pulling out the BS flag on ya.
Maybe i'm wrong.. did it for 1 second at WOT.Like to see any 109 Buick run the numbers Dougs Vert just did.. So the On-Par statement.. fastest stock block is high 5's with a 1.3 60 foot.. yours wasnt it..
Let alone no AC or creature comforts..

Bro-Chris and Doug have master plan-they were sandbagging. Doug and I are gonna duke it out over a $100 bucks at Norwalk-the money going to St.Judes. All the melted plugs, blown head gaskets, and stuff is just propaganda to come out and destroy my 347 with the procharger!
