4400 miles. Approx 6 track days. I wasnt able to get up to work on car so no pics. I gotta edit PDR video as session goes on for hour or so cause tow truck rolled it away as it was recording. They sent me to mandatory physical review at their on site med center. All fine but... protocol |

Hmmm, no bueno. Guess I'll baby my car :-(
The LS series of engines were bullet proof. My buddies and I used them in classic car swaps with big cams, headers, twin turbos, superchargers, etc. Even used a 140k mile junkyard LS2 with two big Garrett turbos in a rat 65 impala an that thing was driven daily and raced at the strip with zero issues. Buddy drives it and put another 40k miles on it. Not feeling too good about these LT engines. Maybe fuel dilution from the direct injection? |

True, was just being dramatic. Lol however, there have been a couple blown engines on the track recently.

As much as I would love to mod the car, this is why I will be leaving the drivetrain bone stock until I'm past 3yr/36k. Knowing I can grenade the engine in a few weeks at Road Atlanta and have it covered under warranty is invaluable!

I hope this does not get traced back to the AFM lifters. AFM is the biggest abomination GM has ever invented. On my car (SS 1LE) my understanding is that AFM is not even active, but I still have the crappy complicated lifters with the freaking pins and oil, etc, which I don't even understand how they work. AFM lifters + AFM exhaust valve = #1 reliability issues for LT1s. |

Took forever to upload this video to YouTube because as you can see the videos over an hour and a half. Carnage happens approximately 8 minutes. I was only what third or fourth lap and didn't even have the tires up to Temp yet and all hell broke loose.
