financially prepared....yes and no. I have about 2K in the bank so if I did blow the engine, I'd be able to afford a dropout engine from a wrecked car and throw it in the car, but I can't afford a full on rebuild of this motor. My dad was a mechanic for over 15 years up until 07 when he had a medical mishap so I have access to a few thousand dollars of tools and have a nice oversized 2 car garage if I ever needed to do the rebuild myself. I was one of the few that was hot lapping their cars as much as me. I was just testing how strong these LS1's really are. I lost some trap speed towards the end of day but the E.T. stayed in the low 12.7 range and I think my clutch may have just had enough. I'll be looking for 12.2's by the end of the season with weight reduction. BTW, my oil pressure did not drop below 40 psi at idle while doing the hot lapping. I will keep pushing this set up until it blows up. Btw, all of these runs were done with a bad bank 2 O2 sensor so the car wasn't running at it's full potential. I was an idiot for running as much as I did yesterday with a bad O2, but I was having fun
. I might pull the plugs later on to see how they look.
