carnage pics
http://www.ttperformance.net/msgboar...ic.php?f=6&t=2
the skinny:
car has a texas-speed heads/cam package. cylinder head failed at low engine speed, car was then towed to TTP. TTP is great and is getting my car buttoned up so i can get back to accruing speeding tickets. more info will be posted once i get it back. thankfully (and surprisingly), the short block was unharmed!  the new setup won't be too radical because i will be saving up for a "rainy day new motor fund" which i realized is crucial when your dealing with modded engines.

Matt determined that that is the cause of teh failure. I will be contacting Texas-Speed about this and see what they offer to remedy the situation.
