That is a very nasty picture, but what were the contributing factors? How aggressive was your timing? What percent was your meth mix? How high were you revving? A 6262 at 29 psi should have put you right around 580-620 whp. What were these rods rated at? These are the questions that come to mind when I see pictures like this.

I think it's a little soon to say it was due to a bad rod. Do you have a log of it going? Or at least one that has the same tune?

Sorry to see that though.

I didn't think I'd really made any comment about meth, rather read that he was using it and inquired as to the percentage of his mix. It plays a part in the overall combination that resulted in a 'custom' window in the block Had I sad 'Ahhh! Meth sux! It's all the meths fault!' then you would be right on point. Not trying to start anything, just wanted to make sure I wasn't coming across as a meth hater.
