Default Blew the motor today!

Well I threw two rods out the block today at the strip, I would suggest not running 12lbs of boost on a stock short block. But the good part was I ran an 11.954 at 103, It blew at about the 1100ft mark. Plus I'm at 3700ft above sea level, where usually .7 to a full second slower than you guys at sea level, so she ran awsome till she blew. Now I need a new motor.

I remember reading a while ago about how it isn't the HP that blows the motor. It's the boost that does it.

I think this is exactly proof of that... That sucks, but at least you can build a stonger one now ya know...
