Well, none of us know exactly what happened, but the melt down was more severe than we were hoping for. The car never went lean except for the very end of the run (like .2 seconds), but something was definately off. I am thinking there must have been a value in the AEM that was setup different between mine and Mo's ECU.

I melted some good sized channels into the head, matching ones through the head gasket and melted the sides of the pistons a bit. The head looks fixable (you will be seeing it sometime Mike) but she needs new pistons and probably bearings too. I am thinking it had to be something with timing to do it, but I am still unsure.

I will post up pic's tonight.
