well........ allmost everyone i know that went to the track broke and so did i. i was hoping if the motor let go it would go out in a glory run with 20psi but it didn't. it died in a pitiful sad way. i was at the track for only a few minutes, just got in the staging lanes and decided to purge my nitrous. i did my usualy purge thru the motor and all was fine but when i let off something wasn't right. it was running odd and died. i thought about it for a few seconds and decided i needed to get out of line and pull over under a light and look things over. i hit the key and it let out a boom. not a big boom, just a nice fart/boom sound. i got some help pushing the truck out of line at that point and then looked under the hood. the nitrous was running
. ******* noid stuck open
. how often does that happen? the jet was completly frosted over so it had put a lot on nitrous into the motor. it was dumping it in for those few seconds when it wasn't running too. thats what caused it to make that boom sound.
i crossed my fingers. shut off the bottle, unpluged coil packs. turned it over for awhile, let is sit a little, then tried starting it and bang bang bang. something serious wrong in there. kind of a sad way to take out a motor that has put up with soo much
.
i was trying the reverse staged nitrous set up. 50shot from 2500-3000 and another 50shot from 2500 to 4000rpm. i was prety excited to try it but never got that far. i am going to send in all 4 noids and have them rebuilt and get a filter. my fill stating has a filter but i dont have one on the kit in the truck. not sure what else to try and have no idea why the noid would stick open.
i took out the other 6.0 with nitrous too. a fuel noid that stuck closed. it was real cold out that day and i had been running xylene thru it so i am going to take the blame for that one but i didn't do anything to cause the problem this time.
as far as damage i am going to say at least a couple of ring lands and at least one rod. it drove it into the garge once i got home and it sound worse than a rod bearing. a lot worse. i will have some pic's of whatever it is in a few days.

sam at cmotorsport told me the short block might be done next week. we haven't even really talked about heads. i might try and get the short block and just slap my stock 6.0 heads on it for now.

ihad a fuel solenoid sticking on mine. nx rebuilt them both for me. i am trying to save some money to get the remote turn on and the pressure gauge for it so i can at least try to watch it.i have been purging mine through the motor as well. man now i will have to watch that to.
