Something happened during that last race. The Monte runs like crap right now and has no vaccum. I'm not sure about what's going on, but I'll be taking a look at it today. I couldn't drive it faster than 11-12mph after the last race. We'll see what happens.
 


Did you have a lot of kr? I am suprised seeing that your e/t did not drop much in relation with your 60'. I almost always see .2 drop in e/t with every .1 off the 60'.
 
Mkyota1, I didn't see any KR while racing last night. I don't really know exactly what happened except that my very first race I was babying it on the launch. It was actually kind of a funny race. I had lined up next to a guy with an 87ish fox body and he was pretty excited to be there racing for his first time. Didn't hardly talk to me about my car. He got a better launch than I did and then I layed into it and left him behind. He ran a 15.4 1/4 that race.

Anyways, a friend of mine posted a video of my best run which was against a 2015 Mustang GT:

Hopefully it is an easy fix. I love messing with mustangs. Lol.
 
I hope so too. The guy was a cool guy and all, but he was like, 'I have an intake and exhaust so I think it has an extra 50hp or so.' I didn't say anything about my car so when I smoked him his jaw must have dropped, lol.

Maybe 15-20 hp lol.
 
Well, here's the first clue that I've found:

Didn't have enough time to dig any further.
 
a shut gap is never good. mine looked like that after i chipped a piston.

plug # 5 also looks messed up, but not from a hit, the fat part fell down the electrode

Yeah, the porcelain in number 5 just rattles around. Like you said though, I'm very concerned with number 2. It's a little weird though because I didn't see any kr, but I also was trying towatch the track and everything else at the same time.
 
a compression test will tell you if its hurt.

or if you have a air hose to pressurize the cylinder, like to remove the valve springs, the air rushing out of my valves was crazy as i took off my springs, as the chip kills the valve and seat as it passes by it. then its no longer a tight seal.
 


Not good man. Pretty sure you chipped the piston. Good thing these engines are so cheap compared to most platforms. That is weird that you saw no kr.
