    That would imply that a stock car pulls 18 second 1/4 miles.

    How many miles on it? If less than 1000 wait and see if it fails again.

    Also stop hijacking threads.

    before you go and drop pulleys, sometimes the better thing to do is get a real good tune on your current pulley. a really well tuned 3.8 pulley will probably outrun a crappily tuned 3.6 pulley and so on.

    When you scan that will help getting an idea on " how safe " it is. Then take that number and decide if you feel safe still running it.
