just stock grounds but I have cleaned them and made sure they were good. I will go over the ignition and compression test or atleast hold my hand over it while it gets cranked as I could not here too well at the track.

Thanks man! It will be awhile before its back on the track. I just pulled the leading plug and turned it over by key. All faces have compresion... Pulled the rear leading and did the same but its missing a beat. I will do a real compresion test before I pull it out. Not sure if its bad what direction I will go as far as the next motor. I may talk with Luis but leaning towards taking it to PFS and leting him do the build and tune. Time will tell and its not going to happen any time soon.

Dang, hate to hear that. Almost thought I screwed mine up the other day trying to run zero-split timing, but thankfully it was ok when I returned it to the old setup.

Completely understood. Wanting to go bigger on the motor setup or keep it the same?

not really sure. I dont think I will go with a larger turbo but may change the motor to full bridge. More power= more breaking and I am not intersted in that anymore.. Atleast for tonight. Full bridge would make the power I want at much lower boost. The again I may just go with a same set up but lower compresion rotors.

I thought it kinda sounded like it was getting 3 good pulses than a quick one when you were turning it over instead of 6 good quick pulses, but those Jamaican guys thought different.

That's still kinda weird how it acted the first two runs, then you put the colder plugs, which should have been safer, and then it blew.

It did sound little weird but since he was able to crank it warm and so quick, I thought the engine was fine. But who knows. I would check your through and make sure everything is ok. If you are using stock ground, I would upgrade it.

Well I was close to buying Fritz' bridgeport he had for sale but it sold today. BAck toi the drawing board.

So if you had to pick the best engine builder to build a high HP drag motor who would you pick?

1. PFS gets my vote...

I may talk with crispeed.. I have always wanted to build one myself but never tried. I feel like if I want to keep tracking it then stuff is going to break. I can not keep dishing out 4-5k every time like some. You know, family first... So I just dont know at this point. I have a spare core I could send the center section out for balancing and try my hand at porting and put it back together then build my other for a spare?? But even after that so much is in the tune with high boosted motors. I feel if I had a top notch builder do both I may come out better..
