  • almost made it through a season. :(

    welp my car is done for the year... went and put the nitrous on for the most part today and got as far as we could before i had to head home and as i was leaving it broke two rocker studs, and im pretty siure it wiped the cam out. i never even got the hit the bottle at all. im pissed. but glad it didn;t do that when i was gonna spray it cuz it would have been worse.

          Sucks to hear about the engine trouble, hope your problems are easily fixed and that car is up and running soon!

          I'd like to agree with that, but if you think back a few years, we haven't had a GOOD year for F-Bodies since 2005. Someone gets hit, wrecks, fries a rear end, blows a motor, etc. every year. It has nothing to do with luck for the entire group, it seems to be individual luck above all, and coincidentally, we all run into bad luck at the same time. . . lol

              That sucks but broken rocker studs won't wipe lobes out on a cam so you got that to look forward to. Are your studs pressed in or screw in?

                  there screw in... we think what caused it is coil bind in the valve springs tho.

                            i think the tow bill from grand rapids to my house was expensive enough.. i can imagine what it would cost for me to bring the car to your side liz
