I am the man Guess having the boost controller lock open and over boosting way past 20psi for acouple hours and then 3000 miles at 14+psi with a little to much timing can really make things look ugly. Thank God and Don and this was the only casualty.

 

Do you not have a boost gauge or what?

 

I have a gauge. It over boosted once when my conrtoller broke. I fixed it 2 hours later. It only hit 20+ like 4 times. Since then it has never seen over 17lbs. I had it tuned in the hot summer. So once it hit the cold winter air up here the number 7 plug burnt up. Also I think that the #7 cylinder was running a little lean. I have a wideband and it is always 11:1 at wot. I guess it had just had enough. No big deal though. its up and running right now. Except it isnt me beating on it tonight

 

Damn chipping part of that valve off in the cylinder didnt screw anything up??

 

Nope. I told u guys I was the man. Don just drove it to work tonight and there was no problem. He examined the pistion and the head. A few small, tiny, surface scratches on the head that he already too care of.

 

How much timing?

 

18 degrees i think. Now it is at like 16 on street, 14 at the track. I have to ask Don exactly what its at.

 

You are the man to be able to break off that big a piece of valve and not **** anything up.

 

Lucky bastard. Now get some more 11's with the mighty 4.8!!!

 

Who makes that valve? What do the others look like? Pitting on the heads-piston tops?
