Looks like i cracked a piston during a 5th gear pull on the freeway. Getting white smoke and way too much blow by. e85 and stock fuel pump not so good.
Good news is I did not window the block, so I can re use it. Will pull it out and send it to MMR for their 1000hp setup.
New fuel system and clutch as well. Should be good for a while after this.

I'd like to get some springs, struts , mounts and a sway bar or save the cash for a down payment on a next gen. Should know in about 6mths. FI would be next on the list and a daily beater.

Ordering a set of 18" by 10" sve drifts with nitto tires tomorrow. Springs, panhard, struts/shocks, and miscellaneous is next at Christmas for a 1" or 1.5" drop - haven't decided yet.
Y'all think 10" wide wheels on the front will stick out bad, or if at all?

Ended up getting a set of brand new '14 California Special wheels/tires. They look great! - even though they aren't very performance oriented.

I've got a used pair of FRPP / Boss 302S lower control arm relocation brackets and a new pair of CHE LCAs to put on this week. I'll see if I can get it to hook any harder with a fresh pair of 20" DRs and shoot for an untuned 11.x pass. I doubt it will happen but we'll see, lol.

With good weather and a hook I think it is possible and would be a great achievement IMO.
