head gaskets great, broken rod

[poweredx2]

Thanks for the info concerning my head gaskets,but it was my rod i think on the #1 cylinder.Yes it was my fault,racing a new mach1,it ran 13.8 at 104, I ran 13.77 at 109 using 150 shot wet.That was my last race for 100$.THE svx is a real sleeper.

Yeah, when you run a 150 shot of NOS . I hate to sound like an ass, but next time you feel the urge to run such a large shot of NOS on your SVX- stop, sell your SVX, and buy a honduh. SVXs were never meant for drag racing.....

I think we may have just found what the mechanical limit is for a totally stock SVX bottom end...13.77 quarter mile = blown rod
Hope you can get it rebuilt without too much damage to your wallet.

you wanted me to email you telling you about my nitrous setup and you have already installed and ran it at the track?
