On 2/28 I took my car to the drag strip for the first time since finishing the rebuild back in September. I didn't have any troubles and I was very happy with how well it ran.
It ran 13.57s @ 102.87mph on the first run. The last 3 runs were consistent 13.7x. All runs were done on street tires.
Here's a video of the first run against my buddy's 2015 Ford Focus ST:

Sounds like that takes a lot skills to rebuild our motors right and be successful.

you went all out tho, shop and all. and it cost you some. most back yard rebuilds have no shop time invested, and wing it together. = fail.

Sounds like that was too close to the home.

seen it happen more then a few times here in the last 6 years. it hardly ever works out well. hell one guy had a shop rebuild it, and it lasted 50 feet lolSounds like that was too close to the home.
its the cost for me, im not spending 2500 to rebuild a engine for a car thats only worth 2000 maybe. makes no sense at all.
my engine took a crap and i tossed in a top swapped set up for like 400. thats all new gaskets oils coolant bolts porting tools paint included.
