Blown Motor, New Beginnings
I don't know if it was just a momentary lapse in judgement, or the fact that all domestic drivers in KY are pricks and deserve to be put in their place, but I found myself lined side by side with a v6 mustang on I-75 rolling about 50. He downshifts, as do I, and I proceed to put 5 cars on him up to 90 (that's right, next gear was 4th...) only it didn't go into 4th, it went into 2nd, and revved to about 14k. Only other time I had ever misshifted was in my 88 accord when I was 16... I immediately depressed the clutch, shifted to 4th, and continued to pull on him when I lost power, pulled over to the side of I-75, and watched the mustang driver laugh as he passed. I knew exactly what I had done, and kicked myself in the ass as I called the tow truck.








So what does everybody do when they blow a motor? Build it better and faster. Brian Crower is my new best friend

Forgot to mention the block has been resleeved and bored to the 90mm the kit requires.
Is anyone else running Brian Crower parts? I know the Stage 2 cams were a flop on the FI setup, hoping to get better luck on the stage 3 cams.
