Thanks Bob! She has come a long way but she has been a real bitch the entire way.

Today I Took her out to Road Atlanta. On lap three I was on the back straight and was about to shift from 4th gear at 6000 RPM into 5th. Right before I was about to shift the RPMs stopped at 5500 and stayed there. The pedal was to the metal and the RPMs were not climbing, speed was 110 mph. That RPM and MPH held for about 5 to 7 seconds. At that point the Crank case pressure caused oil to come out the back of the oil pan seal and get on the headers. Saw a puff of smoke in the rear view and smelled burning oil. So at that point I decided to slow down and take her back to the trailer and head home. Not sure what was causing power to halt at 5500 rpm in 4th gear.

Anyway, here is the video. Hope you enjoy.
