Dyno Malfunction= Vette Blows Up
Click here to see VideoIf you read the comments you find out this:
Here is the explaination from the horses mouth on what actually happened. The builder and tuner is one of the very best in Texas, and their builds are featured articles in all the top Primedia magazines. Like Chevy High Performance, GMhightechperformance, Hotrodding etc. It wasn't the car that failed, but a computer glitch within the dyno itself. The following is the explanation: "I'd like you to watch this video so you can see what actually happened, and I'll try my best to explain it all. In the video you will hear the car rev up real fast when the second stage of nitrous comes on... That is the point where the dyno "went out". So during this time, all the nitrous was getting sprayed into the intake manifold, but not all of it was being used due to the speed in which the motor was accelerating.... then the dyno decided to load up. Now all that unused nitrous has to go somewhere. due to fuel puddling and everything that can happen in a state like this (fuel is obviously heavier than N20), the mixture going into some of the cylinders was not ideal, thus causing a few cylinders to run too lean. That's when you can see pieces of pistons and spark plugs start coming out of the exhaust. So, the new pistons will be here middle of next week, then we're going to have them coated, and probably have the car put back together end of the following week. That's when we'll be posting up those 900+ rwhp numbers So until then, stay tuned."
Suck!
Someone said the guy at the end sounds like Little Richie, now every time I watch it I crack up laughing at the end!
