Motor made 135 at 9.5:1 And it's always seemed to me like it's made about 20% less hp than comparable setups. It only made 520 crank with 5lbs, granted it was with a 14:1 afr, but still it should have made close to 500 without boost.
Once I sealed up the intake gaskets and tightened the belt after dyno day, it made 10lbs.
Not going to do any testing, time to pull the heads, and then the pistons. Pistons are coming out for sure, I can only hope that the cylinders are ok. I'd like to do this without pulling the motor. If the pistons are ok, I will resuse them. If not. I will get some blower slugs and drop my CR and order a smaller pulley when funds allow. It would be awesome to run 19lbs...
BTW, broken rings or not, I slaughtered the guy that I was racing. And I'd do it again, 60 psi in several cylinders or not. Watch out suckas!

I blew 4 piston's ring lands out of mine. The cylinders were fine, but I stopped running the motor right away.

If he can hear it (or even feel puffs on his hand) at the tail pipe, then it's his exhaust valve on that cylinder.
If he can clearly hear a whooshing/howling by listening at the carb/intake manifold, then it's his intake valve on that cylinder.
If he can see it bubbling in the radiator, it could be a head gasket, although it doesn't sound like that's it.

I think my low engine vacuum might be another sign that my rings are upside down.

Did you ever get the autopsy done? I've been watching and haven't seen what exactly happened.

I think it's a secret... BTW Einkeivette...I have an appointment tomorrow with Dr. Dyno. Need to play with my F.A.S.T. fuel injection, do some laptop tuning and get things optimized. It feels freekin strong compared to how it ran with the Holley.

I have the pics. However, my computer upgrades have taken a beating. I believe I have to update my Motherboard Bios, whatever the hell that means. Tomarrow maybe.

I forgot my piston slept over at your house. There is another thread around here with the blown piston in the hole.
