    Nah, Cam FTMFW!

    How'd the ring gaps look Cam? Very interested in hearing the analysis of failure.

    Tell ya what, we'll have to get Jon boys approval before I open my yapper. But if he's cool with it, I'm good with showing you guys a few things about how the details can kill a motor. But I'll do in it's own thread.

    After all, we wouldn't want to derail a perfectly good B-day thread now would we. :zorro:

    LOL...lay it all out there buddy :) I'm not shy...besides...I think we know WTF happened pretty well. If one thing helps prevent someone else from similar circumstances it is worth it.

    Dude, I am not shitting you...I just walked in from shoveling, sat down and read your post...LOL (where do you have the camera???)

    Oh, I have a perfectly good wideband and dual Aeroforce gauges monitoring KR, AIT, timing advance, bla bla bla. I was around 12.0 to 1 A/F at WOT...at 7000 ft altitude.

    What happens iiiisssssss...The 'driver' goes racing 300 miles away, drops 2600 ft elevation, makes no changes to the WOT fuel ranges, but is planning on monitoring things and make changes. Said 'driver' then realizes he can't see the orange digital numbers with his new tricky gold face shield on, plus...the sun is really bright on this 95 degree day with glare and all that. 'Driver' can't find his sunglasses so that he can take the face shield off...wife has 'em at the motel. PLUS, 'driver' is sweating profusely from waiting in the Time Only line always having to be ready to get waved into the lanes when there is a gap, so how could the wideband possibly be seen now? Buuut, the car is running great, so off we go..again, and again, and again...

    (Later learned my catch can was full which probably accounted for the quick puffs of smoke while winding out at the end of the track on Saturday...oil is an awesome de-octane booster. Dumped the can Sat night, no puffs of smoke on Sunday...same conditions)

    You get the idea. Cam has a bunch of useful data about a few thing he came up with, but I am pretty sure I contributed to some new pistons.
