So you feel like my car. Hurt and alone! Lol

And I'm going to be broke buying another engine.

But what can you do. It's all part of life. We are well aware of the consequences and are responsible for our actions. Nothing left but to move forward.

I hope you get well soon. The car, is just a car.

Chris82xx · 10-23-2013, 10:22 PM

Thanks. What do you plan on doing differently with repairing this motor. You obviously have enough boost, but maybe you need a slightly lower CR to add for the nitrous.

And the right spark plugs.....again.....we tell you, you don't listen.

I'm not sure what's Don wants to do. I'm far from an expert in this area. I'll be creating a "chapter 2" build thread soon and keep it updated. Cars has been through so much I forget most of it. I would like to start documenting things.

What's done is done. It's in the past. Getting mad and throwing blame around does no good. Fix it and look forward to more success.

Thanks Mike. You've been around since the start. You've seen it all. Hopefully this solves your long battle. Good luck.

A year would have been awesome. It's was off from the first 60' on blower only. Right now I don't know what.

Looks like you are have started to formulate a resurrection for the Camaro.

Love the Vette, looking forward to what you do with it.

Wow that was a long read.... totally agree with Rat.

jamie i see they keep saying you used the wrong plugs. which plugs did you use and which plugs should you have used? i ask because i know someone using nitrous to make more power in his zl1 and i dont want him to make the same mistake. thanks

No stroker plans. I'm hoping the damage is pretty minimal. Nothing is really minimal though when you need to take a brand new engine apart.
