Well the damage was worse than I thought. Here are some pictures if you wana see what detonation can do. The fire ring on cyl 1-2-4 were stuck. Now it is either time for the 2.4 build or maybe sell everything. I have some thinking to do ...

best time so far 14.3 @ 101.1mph(no traction)

just do the 2.4 i have every fucking thing you'll need and more, with opics galore, etc...whats stopping you? get a 2.4 block and some srt-4 internals or if you want, fully custom like what i did....better rod ratio...10K redline?

yea...hit me up :thumbsup

Isnt that his built block? Those are forged pistons. Either way 2.4 or 2.0 look into some tunning investments.

a 150 dollar knock meter and 350 buck WB look better and better.

I say do the 2.4! And make her scream! Take the time to do all that you want to. It'll be like extended foreplay. Then when you drive it again... You'll have to change your shorts! Unless you plan ahead and wear some depends!!!
