I don't really know what happened last
night. I was at a 1/8 mile and I was
really starting to feel the track .
The best run I got was 9.3X and 60ft
was 2.55 and was spinning on 1st and
2nd.  After this run I tried to run
again, I had a pretty good launch but
still spinning when launched. BOttle
pressure was about 970 psi.  Right at
5k-6k rpm on 1st, I turned on the
nitrous switch and then I heard, KABOOM!!!!!,
Oh shit.  The car was still running
so I was able to drive it to the pits.
Driving to the pits my car stalled.
We tried to start  the car and it sounds
like fuel is running rich. We can
actually smell it from the engine bay ;
and the exhaust.  We looked at all the
plugs and they were all great.
So we concluded that it couldn't
be the bottom end. There was one
thing we noticed about the # 2 cylinder/plug.
(2nd cylinder from passenger side)  It seems
like it is not firing.   I drove the car
back to my place about 35 miles and the
car ran fine. It runs like how it
is but when I idle , the car is
hesitating, sounds like running with
rich fuel.  I drove it to work today
about 10 miles and ran fine but again
on idle and low rpms on 1st gear
it seems like it is going to stall.
Can someone else tell me what else
could be wrong with the car??
