next step~ buying it and getting it brought half way across the globe to lil Bali, hehe

PS, eric told me he is using the 13:1 compression pistons, with the stock bore. no wonder hes able to pull off those sweet speed records although i think he went a little trigger happy with the NOS a couple runs back and brought the forged piston to its melting point, hehe...
I traced my problem to a faulty injector. After having some problems with preignition on the right side I tested the system . I was not getting any fuel flow from the right side. I sent them the system and they confirmed it.
That means I ran 122 with 10 hp on the left side and an engine damaging dry shot to the right side.
I have it sorted now and am rebuilding the engine with 13 to 1 JE pistons again. But I will also do a LOT of small things to prevent detonation.
Sorry for the thread jack.
