It was a nasty little 360. 12.21 on motor 11.31 on 100 shot. We jetted it for a 150 but the track wouldnt hold and it cut out do to low fuel pressure safety switch so we knew the tank was sucking air under g force. Filled it up and that was the end.

@@wildrosegarage4208 thanks buddy! I definitely kept my stock cast crank and Ed gave it a super balance with the b and m flexplate. So many guys leave that tip ring gap too tight and it kills the kb piston. My setup was happy with the 535 horse and a 150 shot from out the gate. That block and bottom end is in my truck now with the Stealth heads. I think it should run well. Your cam choice is a little rowdier than mine on LSA and duration. I would go with 1.6 rockers and get a little more lift out of it, if you’re buying aftermarket rockers anyway. Good luck and let me know how I can help 💪🏻

Aww what a shame. Sorry for you and your friend the owner and his bank account. Did you notify the track to dispose of the fuel? Or hoping for a smaller field next year? ;-) meow The NASCAR team that went to LeMans in the mid 70's also got sold low octane fuel and it ruined their race. Modern cars have knock sensors. I wonder if a device exists that could have detected the knock and disabled the ignition within a tenth of a second. Seems like it would be good insurance on a nitrous car.
