So that was a bummer..  Then later that night I was with a buddy and a few blocks from my house I nailed it through 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear, clutch slipped so bad it was smoking, and then.. started running really rough. Pulled the car into the garage and long story short blew the head gasket. I tore it apart last sunday.. picture of the damage:<a href="http://s444.photobucket.com/user/Mustang1619/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20130728_203825_zpsaa37a7ea.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/20130728_203825_zpsaa37a7ea.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Out of 8 cylinders, 6 of them were blown in some way shape or form. most of them were compression-into-coolant passages..I gave up on using regular 'fiber' head gaskets, so MLS gaskets and a new Centerforce Dual Friction clutch should be arriving tomorrow. I went with a .061" compressed thickness gasket since the heads have been machined a total of .050" in their lifetime.In other news the tuner's dyno is just about up and running, which will work out for good timing for me.. I'm anxious to see some numbers!</blockquote>
