Testing New build April 2nd Evadale Raceway

[casey23]

paper work and software estimated it at 638, torque didnt look all that great at 511, but being NA on a nitrous fed motor running a 252/263 cam is amazing, ya darn right its getting hot out, its was nasty last night at 71* and alot of dew in the air and the humidity being way up there really sucked! running with a cold air intake didnt help with high IATs and engine temps, but all in all im very impressed with the build!

i need to talk to you, i'll text ya tomorrow if you dont mind

You know that's never a problem ! You can call or text me anytime sir.

well its been awhile any update?

[skeet]

yep shes down, broke comps baddess new 926 springs 2 of them, broke one of revs valves at 6000 rpms on the street shifting at 6400 the valve came apart at the seat and stem, took out the head and #8 piston, yeah its a mess, the build specs are within tolerances comp has the build and prints, as to REV, having trouble with REV they claim its not there valve ( wtf ) comp is taking all measures to help with the issue, they did admit it was a spring failure and the springs ( 2 ) were sent to there lab for futher issues.yeah i would like comensation for the cost to redo the whole motor but i aint waiting on COMP nor REV, comp mentioned it could be a month up to 3 months, so i ordered new heads,new piston, comp is shipping new springs, everything is being checked out from crank to rods to pushrods along with new valves..hopefully in the end i'll at lease get 1/2 compensated for the disaster, but im really not expecting it.. oh yeah the block was sent back to the machine shop also, to have it checked out, i might as well raise the compression to a mere 11:4 to 12:4 and still run pump gas looking at 3-4 weeks down time

[DBRODS]

that sucks Skeet.. Comp will probably only want to replace their springs and thats it. Sucks

wow this is terrible I feel bad for you. Comp prolly won't do much unfortunately, but if they do then A+ to them.
