Destroyed the ProTrans in the pink car. Sent trans to Joel’s, installed spare, all in getting car ready for the backup role. New plugs, re wire, (just for you Cody), adjust valves. What’s this? Very little compression on at least two holes one on each side. Leak test was double our President approval rating, so now it’s off with the heads........of the car.

Larry,
I don't mean to LIKE your blow by number but your analogy is priceless. So I must say you were still very quick with less than a totally sealed piece under the hood. That Pink Pack is a bad *** racer. Kudos to you. |

When the car broke the trans, the rev limiter did not catch it soon enough and bent a few valves. Of course some on each head. With the damage, it would be lucky to start and would not be able to run the index.

Living in the middle of nowhere I try to keep a good parts inventory. So far I have enough parts for the first head. In a few days I should be smelling smoke.

After we get the car fixed and the new shocks on, we have to rescale the pink car so we will be confident it will go straight as a "B" car.
I wonder what the weight is of a ZL1 Camaro is on the AMA Spec Sheet? |

The "Pink Car" has best 60' efficiency for any class. That is for me one of the core elements for being elite class. Dumbo's right up there. Larry gets it. Patsy too!
