TurboRust Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 and then did this on the first pull. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=214&pictureid=3253 we didnt even get to make a full pull before the 23 year old headgasket finally let go. mucho thanks to dyno brian and his hospitality... nursed the car home on 2 cylinders and tore it down.started at 11:15 and by 12:30 I got to see this. atleast 2.3's are easy.. I'm putting the bitch back toegether with a new gasket and still running nelson ledges on saturday:bangbang::bangbang::bangbang::bangbang::bangbang::bangbang::bangbang::bangbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(http://www.cometic.com/domesticauto.aspx looks like it's $75) You can buy all the cosmetic's you want, it's not going to make his car run better...but it might make you feel pretty.

Tinman Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 You won't need all that boost at Nelson so the stock stuff will be fine. As a plus, if you keep it turned down we can do some lead follow stuff without you running me over down the backstraight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
