had been spraying 175..but anyway

car left the line strong got into 2nd and thats when the carnage began, you can hear some racket and then it got a little worse, i shifted into the 3rd the car instantly shut down and coasted the last 200-250 ft of the 1/8th mile track, clocked a 6.92 @ 87mph,

any input on what you think may have let go before i tear into it

filmed with a gopro,,may need to turn the volume up or put on headphones

video starts about 7 seconds in sorry

Best case it ate the plugs. Worst case burnt up pistons and some of its neighbors.

I hope the damage is less than you fear. Keep us posted. Your car sounded really nice off the line.

a little update to clarify the situation so you guys dont think i just decided to spray the crap out of my car,,the 351W in my car had the bottom end rebuilt in 1989 with aftermarket truck crank, rods and pistons, the motor was previously in zephyr that ran 6.50's on a 250 shot, the motor got yanked out and sat in a garage for years til it was dropped in my car 4 years ago by the previous owner of my car, i recently had been spraying 175 with 8* of timing pulled car had ran a best of 6.84 on the 175 shot, well this night i decided to try the 200 hit, and this is the destruction, the motor was long over due to be rebuilt, surprised it lasted this long

the pass in the video the car cut a 1.57 60' off the footbrake ran a 6.92 coasting the last 200 ft or so and trapping 87 mph

# 2 cylinder
