Ran good, then broke.. lol.. After this pass, while idling in the pits, it died... Evidently 7qts of oil isn't enough for a 555 with big chief heads and a titan gearotor oil pump... I pulled the motor the next day, and it was at the builders shop Monday. It was suckin the pan dry, and axed a rod bearing. Wasn't too major though, and everything is fixable.
It went 5.41 @ 134, which is .13 faster than the black car ever went in the 1/8th mile... And this was on low boost, bringing it in over 4 seconds. It made 11psi, but it didn't see that until 4 secs into the run..... Oh well, here's video.. http://www.amarilloracers.com/brant/Ind ... _may10.wmv _________________ Brant Campbell webmaster@amarilloracers.com

That sucks that your motor broke. Seems like a lot of that going around this year. I bet it took longer to get all that plumbing out of the way than it did to actually pull the motor.
