Hope it's just some bent valves. And use the N2O next time!

I was shifting over 8000, so it wasn't too happy. The datalog said it was at 11,300 RPMs. There is a hole in my valve cover from rocker parts coming through. I need to stop trying to shift into 4th quick. It really is the least important shift as far as time/mph is concerned. I concentrate on the first 2 shifts more because the shift to 4th should be cake, but it ends up killing me. I go a bit crazy with the shifts as you can tell from me breaking the shifter off of the pivot on my first run. Me with N2O probably wouldn't be pretty, I probably wouldn't even make it off the dyno.
I would have rather have went on Saturday, but the car wasn't done yet.
