That's too bad.
Not sure what happened, but most around town tend to get too greedy with boost or nitrous and
Trying to stay ahead of the competition is part of our sport, but destroying a perfectly good engine with excessive power adders or unnecessary abuse has never made much sense to me.

I agree with you when it comes to engines & such. I'd rather have mine live to run another day, than to abuse 'em & end up blowing 'em up while trying to get that last couple of HP. I make a point to stay on the rich side just a bit to be safe. The GN has 189k on the original head gaskets & I've been running 20 pounds of boost for over a decade.
I guess some people don't care. Just another hunk of metal to them. No big deal - it can always be rebuilt or replaced. Whatever makes 'em happy, I guess - but I kinda kike my stuff to stick around....
While we're on the subject - another thing that doesn't make sense to me is the ones who can turn stellar numbers on the dyno, but they can't hook up in the real world. To me, an 800 HP engine in a 400 HP car seems like such a waste...There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life. - Frank Zappa
