Aeroking
e.i.
I went to Quaker City friday night and had to trailer it back. I made a couple of passes. I got knock on each passes right when i locked the converter at the beginning of 3rd. It was 95 out, i was icing down the truck but the IATs were still at 150 on the line.
Best/Last pass was
1.61 60ft
7.2
11.5
I locked the converter at 4500 in 3rd, my knock gauge pegged red and the truck fell on its face. On the return road i heard something loose in the bottom end. :tdown: So i'm thinking that the shock from the lockup jarred a rod bearing, or maybe a wrist pin.
Either way, i'll tear it down this winter, and be back stronger next year. BTW, the truck was on 22psi, conservative timing, 5psi launch spinning, and 275/40/17 yokohamas.
