Tiger,

I had a rod let go last fall at Texas Motor Speedway in my 428 and I knew when it happened it was something I would have to pay for out of my pockets. I know of a person here in Tulsa that had spent in excess of $60K for his custom built 454 Chevy he used in Truck pulls. Titanium everywhere throughout the engine and in less than a minute (second pull) he dropped a valve and the whole engine was toast. Things happen more often under stress.

Sorry for your mis-fortune, I know how and where it hurts the most.

Clois
