Hey ban. You going to tear down the old motor? For ***** and giggles. Check the condition of the oil pump. And check the piston tops and combustion chamber for signs of detonation. Might see areas of missing metal in those areas. If it was bad enough. Some of the piston tops might look like silly putty that got hard.

Thanks, Rusty! I'll have a look...I was definitely seeing detonation before it went. By the way, what do you think of the FI Long Tube Headers? I'm looking to put them on the replacement engine...

I've had the coated FI LTH's since they first came out. Never had issues with them yet.

I can get this fuel cut with only 3 gallons from a full tank, so my recommendation would be to top off every session!

I've been talking with Rob at Z Car and he has some cool ideas about what we can do with the car. Will post up details soon!

Awesome bro! my best wishes to your new engine build and thanks for the recommendation

Well, not having a car sucks, especially when my friends are out at the track this weekend! So I played Need For Speed and Project CARS, then I watched the Need For Speed movie, and then I decided to look through my track footage. Here's my fastest lap at Buttonwillow, 2:09.52, from the session before my engine blew:
