I've come to the conclusion that detonation probably killed her at the tuning session and its gotten progressively worse since then. In any case I have a new engine sitting waiting to be installed so I can build this one. Hopefully in a couple months I'll have a built block.

...too...much...timing.

Sorry to hear. Get a stock one back in, and be a little less agressive with the tune...you'll be good to go in ~8hrs or less!

Oh yes, I know. From the first run to the last run we had to back timing off about 12 degrees. After the tuning session I started getting a lot of blowby leaking out my intake and it just got progressively worse. So a $100 stock one is going in. I also have a reason to go buy a cherry picker. :)
