All your problems will be solved if you put the dual mufflers back on. I just noticed that your car started giving you headaches once you got rid of them.

the fact the HG has blown twice in the same spot really leads me to belive theres a problem with the block/#3 sleeve....

Logically speaking, I would have to agree. Lee seems to do good work and using 2 OEM gaskets and having same problem, leads me to believe the same.

Lee,

Didn't you get the block used already sleeved from a guy? I wonder if he knew of this problem and that's the real reason for selling.

Anyhow, I hope you can run at a lower boost level and have it last you. You've worked so hard, I TOTALLY know how you feel about just wanting to sit back and enjoy the car. I'm in the same boat, it gets to you after a while.

YES!


Im eliminating on last variable by getting new head studs. If it happens again ( I dont want to find out ) then its that sleeve / block


Trying to rush and get the car ready for Saturday's meet! lol

Congrats on the numbers!

[Boost_Lee]

[Shadow1]

[Boost_Lee]

great man. i was looking forward to you dyno'ing your cb. always been a favorite of mine


hope you can get that stuff installed and back to the dyno for some nice numbers.

[Boost_Lee]

its not dyno'ing again on this block, im done

I NEED to actually ENJOY the car now - that means keep the boost levels safe for this motor. Should still be fun at least

Word to enjoying the car. Some times going big and going home isn't as fun as just going.

exactly. why build a car to have fun driving if it stays getting built?

[quickangel93]

damm with the money Lee you spent in this car, i would'of expexted numbers in the mid-high 400's

[Boost_Lee]

yea something just dont like me...and i really didnt spend an ass load on this setup either (which is prolly why its giving me problems lol)

F22HB, I couldnt agree more. This build took over my CB - I've lost touch with her for so long. Driving the car half assed, not able to enjoy anything - it really starts to get to you. The car became more of a task than a hobby. Thats why im stopping here....want to enjoy it....then move on
