during those high speed runs

The engine has been slightly unbalance after starting at the racetrack.
But this is only at idle Speed

Unfortunately I have no information about what is really going on yet?
It just seems weird that a supercharger would cause an engine failure so early. What were your AFRs like during your high speed runs? What boost was the it pushing at those speeds? Just curious.

I guess its possible that the engine was not made to spec.

I look forward to seeing pics of the rebuild process!
