Dave,

Bummer

Any idea of what caused the failure, or just bad luck?

OUCH!!

Is that the engine with the new head and cam package??

Sorry to hear the bad news, David. I really enjoy watching our star member on Speedvision. Hopefully you'll be back up and running soon.

Hey...I heard a Z06Vette.Com banner placed in the right spot on your Z would add 25 HP. :z: :z: :lol: :lol:

Yea Frank, the HP bonus is nice, but I hear the torque gains are incredible

Here's the 25HP gain Model

Of course the proper paint adds 25 more HP

I have asked David to join us here, maybe he can give us a little insight.

It apears the pistons just crapped out, but my GM guys should get back withme soon. Oil pressure has been good, and the enging has ran great all season. I think I just wore it out.

The new one is almost in, and should be ready for Atlanta next weekend (Petit LeMans weekend).

Dave,

Sorry to hear about your engine failure.

Pistons just wore out? Hmm..

It is unfortunate that GM couldn't go with a forged piston in the LS6. The required clearance would have probably been too noisy.

Where do you think the piston to valve contact came from?

How high do you buzz it?
