It runs again...

Despite numerous set backs the 89 is in good running order again. Got it all back together Friday night, (stock 12mm) for a pull on Saturday. Then we were doing some testing sat. morning and popped the HG. Attempted to get it in, in time to pull that day, but it didn't happen. Had it all ready for yesterday, though. Pistons still looked fine, good crosshatch, heads full of cracks, blah blah blah.

Ended up 2nd and 3rd. Kind of a weird track, no traction out of the hole, then super sticky when it did bite. At Least it held together. Beat a "550 hp" D-max, and a "900 hp" CR, though.

Matt's hook, 208'



He had it all heat soaked so I only got 200'



Here's the CR.

Very nice pull!! that sucks about the HG, I thought you already did it??? 60psi at a stock headgasket with head bolts is pretty good

I forgot the guy's name with the CR, it's not Ryan Flies though. His hp figure is a little optimistic.

CS, nope that was the factory HG. Was retorqued though. The new one held 65 psi, with the timing jumped 2 teeth. Will get it o-ringed this winter.
