Damn, I seriously never thought it'd happen to your truck, but I guess you were pushing the limits for a few years so anything's possible.
Btw: Brett's fixing the old tech edge wideband, not the new PLX.

I guess it figures. I've been running this thing at the track for 10 years,
and pushing the limits of where the chip can go. It was really only a matter
of time before something let go.
One thing's for sure... the only acceptible KR value at 22+ psi with stock
pistons is 0. Anything more than that will break parts. Might get lucky for
a little while, but it won't last.
Like Brett said, now I get to build. I'm already shopping around for TRWs,
Eagles and other short block parts. Not really sure what I'll do for heads,
but I'm leaning towards modifying a set of Vortecs so they fit the the
stock manifold. (rather than the other way around, like everybody else
does) Either that, or I'll doctor up some L35s. I'll stick with the 20G for
a while; I like the fact that I can get it to spool up nice. A mid-low 11 sec
20g truck would be cool.
Gonna take a while to get the parts together, and get them treated/coated
etc. So, I'll either have to pilot the Buick this year or just sit it out. Darn.
