Hi
I haven't posted in quite a while. Maybe some one will be interested. Here is a thread about my vortech build. Thought you might be interested since I used a very thick gasket Cosmetic .071 (edit) to bring the compression down. Looks like it lasted about 3 years, before blowing. I run the car a fair amount. My best was an 11.696 on slicks.
Went to Tri-State sat. and made 3 runs. On the last run white smoke came billowing out!!
There is a video and my run is about 1/2 way through.
I am the red vert about 5:30 in. Figure i blew a head gasket and maybe more. A slipping clutch may have finally done me in. Will look at it over the weekend .
