Got it. No Z. How about some 1/4 mile runs? We should try to get the motorgen crew out for a big day at the track.

It was a fatigued spring form valve float caused by heavy Harland Sharp rockers at 7000rpm. Wierd thing is it didnt miss till north of 5000rpm so it drove normal around town. Thank God for double springs.

Yup, hatchback helps. Thing is it was hard to stay wot on the dirt. Thats why the trans short shifted 3-4 at 130mph. Usually I take 3rd to 153mph. I recommend pavement for this. Lol.

I guess that's just dust coming from underneath?
Yeah dust was being suck in from under the door. Sucked to clean after. If you go out there be ready to put the car on a lift after and power wash the car, trust me! Lol. Also the dirt will eat up tires, a lot. It killed a lot of my tread from my falkens rt615's.
