Heres what it looks like as of the 1000ft mark on my 7th pass....

The new bolt apparently just backed out and the balancer came off... It was all torqued to spec so i dunno... When it came off, not only did it do the damage seen in the pics(k member, tierod, a/c idler pulley) it also hit the water pump pulley which now spins ever so slightly off center. so new water pump is needed now too(electric this time though). I'm also getting yet another fluidamper but an ARP balancer bolt this time and going to locktite the hell out of it..... but on the bright side, 5th run broke into the 12s at 115mph... still on street tires with a 2.257 60'.
