Well after 193 passes, of which 148 were with nitrous....Running it too fat finally caught up to me...I have leaned it out to the tune of picking up almost 6 mph, and its still a little fat! After running a nice and too fast pass of 8.43 @ 160. (for 8.50 index)I rolled up my chute, put it in the car, purged my line. When i started the car to drive back, i noticed a lot of smoke out the header, Well when i got back i pulled the plugs, sure enough #8 was oiled pretty heavily, but the strap was still there!!! LOL Im sure upon inspection its gonna have a lifted ring... Its served me well, cant complain at all, a shelf piston and moly ring thats seen WAY more nitrous than it was intended to. New parts were already on order before this even happened so ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

Well, if it lasted that much longer than you expected it to I guess you can't really complain.
I just hope it didn't take anything else with it.
