For a street car it is a big deal. For a drag car, who cares. They are WOT for the most part.

Yeap, steam cut the top of one of the cylinders. I have a dead miss on one cylinder. I got it good.

Exactly.

Not sure how they built it. Doesn't matter too much, nothing is safe for long term. Everybody is having issues. SOHO has something that is working for them. They are still testing and racking up the miles on the cars. I am doing something different.

That’s the same as I’m hearing with the high power builds here. Gaskets are letting go.

I hope I can get it right this time. Time will tell.

Crazy part is very few will talk about it. LOL I just said F it. I will let folks know and post my thought process on how I am going to fix it.

I’m sure it’s frustrating that one of the cheapest parts is causing a lot of failures. That’s just **** trailblazers have to deal with.

Here’s to you getting it right

Thanks Jwick, it will be Mazworx getting it right. I can say this, many people are reading this thread, vistors, members, etc. Some are calling Mazworx up and asking the same questions I did. Lots of people. I hear about it. I am just blown away because of it. It's just little old me. Blows my mind.

I am leaning toward getting the Radium catch can setup. Looks like a quality kit.

I run the Radium and they are top quality.

EW may have a little room in his Tent, to put you up for the night

That’s because “You’re The Bandit” & have Georgia plates to prove it

Motor is at Mazworx.

I don't sleep in stinky fumigated tents. Don't sleep in tents since I got out of the service, matter of fact. I don't do camping. LMAO.

Had a discussion with Mark. We are going to drop the compression down to 10:1 and let her eat. I am going to fully test it, boost pressure is going up.
