Yes, usually untill the end of Nov. for one track, the other 3 close this month. The one that stays open late even has a race new years day. You have to dial a 22 second pass. They run the "hang over Nationals" every year. One year there was 6 inches of snow. They plowed the track and still ran.

Now thats funny right there, I don't care who ya are..

Cockroaches - that is priceless, I though they could live through anything?

I have also found lots of misc nuts and bolts in the past, a razor blade or two, pack of matches, bread bag twisties that someone used to hold their throttle linkage on with.

I want to hear what some of the items people have found in or on their motor during a tear down. I will start. I just tore down a 7m to do a full turbo upgrade. I found a 10mm wrench under the 3000 pipe. A 8mm socket between the exhaust manifold and the block. A pencile near the motor...

And a higher spring rate. Which is the point of upgrading.

I still have my 150 shot!

Stage 2 yes, stage 3 is pushing the limit on the coil bind. You should only compress a spring to within 80 % of coil bind, the stage 3 BC cam IIRC will coil bind you to about 85-90%. I would use the BC springs for a BC stage3 cam. Regrind cams, and BC stage 2 would be Comp 975's ok

False!, they are Big Block chevy inner springs from a dual spring set up.

Yep, CP pistons, pauter rods, 9mm billet cams, head work, ferrera valve train, gt4294, th400, you know-- the usuall stuff.

Every tire store around me offers nitrogen on tire installs for only a few extra dollars.

All kidding aside, I did blow my motor this weekend. I lost my coolent hose that runs along the block to the heater. Lost a bunch of fluid between the 1/8 mile and the 1000 foot mark. The turbo sucked up a bunch of it, and I do believe the pistons tried to compress a bit of coolent. So, long...

AHHH, I thought it ment Big Hole in Gasket

What does BHG mean? My car is now chugging at idle and blowing clouds of white smoke out.

no one want to go along with my joke?

Heck with that! They cost over 400 per cam. To tell you the truth, it does not matter any longer if the na is better/worse than the turbo cams. Aftermarket and cheap regrinds have been around for so long now that the point is mute. Kinda like arguing between a lex afm and a stock afm. Both are...

Seams like the intake valve is not seated well either, air leak on the burn. You can see the orange flame from around the valve seat.

What does it mean when white smoke comes out of my exhaust? I was racing my supra when it blew a radiator hose. Then I think the motor ate a bunch of fluid through the intake? Is this bad?

I missed that too, so yes if his motor is still stockish bore than it can be bored to match the finished product of a repaired piston. Media blast the top and coat them too, that will for sure remove all the carbon.

You can also have the cam bores "line bored" to solve the cam run-out from milling a warped head. Your machinist will need a head torque plate to do this so that the head is pulled into a "installed" state. This whole process will square the cams to the gasket surface.
