Boom. Bye Bye 4G63. One hell of a good run, put up quite the abuse.

Boom. Bye Bye 4G63. One hell of a good run, put up quite the abuse.

So I went boom last Saturday at Pacific Raceways. Jared found the vid to my surprise on You Tube. It was taken by a red C6 Vette that was behind me. About 2 mins into it or so. Boo.

Nooo!!! That was pretty painful to watch. At least let us convince you to do the 2.4 over another 2.0!!!

I gotta talk to Luke or Aaron. I'm a little worried about the 2.4 with no oil squirters. Of course you can put them in I guess. I really need a motor that does it all seeing I like to do so much with the car.

I heard an ejection of metal. Like a clink, clink. Then during the walk back at the sight of the carnage. I found a piece of ARP rod bolt laying there and some other stuff.

Sucks man!! If you like road racing, I'd say a 4g64 based 2.1 or 2.2. More displacement and high revs.
