RIP. I take it this was a wet shot?
EDIT: nevermind. I just read your sig. It was wet.
Is that the new "piston weight reduction" mod?
how did the car run before that? any dyno #s, or track times?
all things considered, thats not as bad as i thought it would be with a broken piston. what cylinder was it?
Damn what happened? Over rev? Spray too low?
Wow - Looks like the rod bent, too, which is probably what did the piston. I do not mean to flame you as you are facing serius bucks there and I do sympathize, believe me. But,there are just too many problems with nitrous; seen way too many backfires and total car fires with it. Maybe it's a cheap way to make power but it sure seems expensive in the long run.
Good luck with however you decide to fix it........Good time for a built bottom end and some forced induction maybe for that "extra" 150 hp. The aluminator s/b isn't too expensive and it comes in either s/c or n/a compression ratios.
Ouch....and I was seriously about to order a kit this week. Now I'm on the fence again...
IMO, nitrous for the most part is safe as long as you have all the support safety mechanisms.... WOT activation, window switch, cooler plugs, etc....
However, having that said I've seen more engine failures with a wet kit than a dry one. Adding fuel into the intake track before the injectors is just another hand in the cookie jar. Chances of puddling increase. But 150 on a stock block is asking a lot.
dadro77- What plugs and what was the timing?
Nevermind, you posted at the same time I did. It sounds like you had your fun, and have another engine in the works. At least you had something else lined up. Get it fixed... summer is almost here :beer:
