Seth pull from start to the final end of my motor we hit trips digits my car was warning me but I was to far into it and did back off .As Ed would put it kaboom

I run compression test on the motor today and in all my years never ever have seen results like this .These are the numbers 1-6 25,25,60,25,25,0. ( This chit right here happens to any all set ups no matter what !! It's the nature of the boost)

My only explanation in this case is the gas I bought at the Pompano toll plaza and or I was ******* the car the day before tuning it with Jordan with barely a drop of oil in the tank.Mind everyone there is not a drop of oil on the ground where she parks .but however I've known for sometime of a small amount of blow by which has gotten worst over the months. This is the game I play and it is what it is ...Chit happens no need for debate or analyzing the end result period.

The truth of the matter is I've listed many kills and some loses. This one here happens to be the ultimate ( blown ) away story . Staying true to my MO I post win or lose .And boy did I ever lose..

The timing couldn't have come at worst time for me . You guys know she'll be rebuilt stronger and better then before I'm sure of it .And truthfully the offers to help me rebuild are coming in and all I can say to those people is thank you you know who you are. .But for now I need to focus on my small start up .I will rebuild no doubt , you know I need me some boost lol. //LRD signing out off of this thread for now but def. will be back count on it.

Super big thank you to my buddies Louis and Roger. Louis for hanging with me the whole time I was broken down. And at the same time trying to left my spirits . And Roger for leaving a party when I called him @ 12:45 asking for his AAA card # .Not only did he say yes. But he and Venus actually left the party and drove to where I was near exit 45 and stayed with me until the freaking truck got there 3:30 am .It's all good race on my brothers
You already know where to get the motor from, you'll be back on the road real soon. You ever thought of going 5spd if so now would be a good time.

You know what, things always happen for a reason and now you could rebuild and hopefully then you can hang with the big dogs!! J/K but you know I had to put that one in there...
Thanks Jerome I know I could count on you for parts at a good price.. As far as the big dogs I hope Dave and Terry let me hang with them. I seem to be forgetting someone , oh well what ever not important..lol
