Well.......it happened
 
Yesterday I went to the muffler shop to get my turndowns cut, they were hitting the axle. I picked up my car and noticed that the temp was on the rise, and the bottom end was gone a little. Before returning to work it was obvious some thing was wrong. I got home and narrowed it down to a head gasket. It took me 5 hours to crank the car agian, not bad I figure. While under the car I noticed that the muffler shop had installed 3" all the way out. I called him and he was laughing, yea you needed it he said. No charge?, No charge.... Any way the head gasket was busted, the plugs are just tan, not white. I wonder if it was supercharger related? My timing is at 9 deg. 12-1 fmu, fuel at 41 with 19lb injectors. I just swapped the 30s for the 19s it was all the diff in the world. Also in the radiator was a little black/ carbon looking stuff. It didn't look like oil, it looked like carbon?

don't **** yourself...it's the charger! not sure about the carbon in the radiator though. Think about a boost timing retard.

I called today about a btm. I wonder if I can find one on E Bay. I'll look later. I runs fine again, I didn't belt the charger today.
