Great news that the car is holding together!

Get us GOPRO video!

I wanna hear her!

Well the morning started great but the suction cup for my phone dried out or something. It fell off the windshield soon as I stuck my phone in it, so I don't have video. The dyno sheet doesn't do it justice, the car is so much faster. My friend has a supercharged C5 that's always just ran away from me but not today, I walked away in every straight. Me on the other hand felt slow as could be. I guess that what I should expect with all the changes and 9 months away from the track. At lunch I I popped the hood and the there a long wire or hose looking thing on the engine. It ended up being one of the ribs off my serpentine belt. I decided to go find one so I had a spare at the track before I went out again but unfortunately Sebring is a small town and none of the parts stores had a belt. Without a spare belt I decided to call it a day instead of taking a chance of sending it home on a tow truck. Lesson learned, I will always carry spare belts for now on. The good news is I only have to wait two weeks to try it again, we will be back 4/10/16.

Same belt on when the SC'r blew ???
Too tight ???
BTW :excited: Glad you got your long awaited Track Day under your belt!
Cap'n Morgan in celebration this time !!!

Lots of Captain to celebrate!

No, it was the serpentine belt this time, it looks like the belt wasn't on one of the lower pulley right. It was still a great day, the car is a beast.There is no question in my mind that the A2A is the way to go if you don't have to meet CARB.

:-) Good to Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o !!!

I haven't had it in me to post in a while but on my next trip to Sebring the car overheated on me and I had to send it home on a tow truck. It's at a new shop that pulled the motor and it's a mess inside, warped head and block, bearings shot so I ordered a IPP long block. When it's back in the car Seb is SD tuning the car. The motor will not be here for two months so I will report back in August or so.

Oh NO!!

Wish you good luck and hope that everything goes well! :tup:

Was it due to the air to air set up ?

Dang bud. That's harsh.

No not at all! We thought it was a blown head gasket but when they got it open the gasket was fine. It looks like the the heads and block are so warped the oil and water went around the gasket. I got off the interstate on a highway with 4 full lanes of traffic when I noticed the temp climbing but I was stuck between to big trucks. After sitting a a long light I got it off the road as fast as I could but it was way hot. I was on my way to a wedding of a life long friend so I sent it home on a tow truck.

When it Rains it Pours ...
Are you upgrading the Long Block from IPP?
