...and I've got it recorded too...it looks like on the first dyno run, there's a puff of smoke right before the rev limiter and then it pours smoke out the tailpipes on the deceleration. You can hear it's not running quite right before the pull. I got a glipse of the tailpipe on the 2nd pull too, and there's more smoke coming out. I was at the front of the car on the 3rd pull and you can really hear that the motor isn't right when you listen closely to the recording. None of this was obvious at the time, but the tape really shows what happened...
It was knocking VERY badly when we got to Stockbridge. I pulled into WalMart to wait for Cliff and I could hear how bad the motor sounded from 50 yds away...
RIP to the L98....good luck with v2.0!

No biggie. As soon as I rejoin the work force, I will be getting with you, to build a monster. (I hope). |

that sucks but to get 300K miles out of it is pretty amazing. It was good to meet you guys earlier at the dyno.
