On August 5th while staging for my second pass I heard a noise, of course I shut it off pushed back to the pits and trailered it home. Turns out a I broke a valve guide in number 5 cyl. parts endded up in 1,5 and 6 along with 4 bent intake valves. Anyway I now have Patriot heads on my VT shortblock, heres some pics of the new bullet and install.

Hopefully the improvements will take me into the low 11's or maybe a high 10. Next track runs Sept 30th. cant wait
Traction was a problem on the 30th. so I backed down the nitrous and ran mid 11's, should be running 10's this coming season
