i used to work on an A/FUEL dragster and we ran 6.09 on 6 cylinders more than once lol. and they will weld that hole up and do some machining and that block will be good as new! thats the great thing about kb blocks, they have no water in them!
You FEEL a fueler as much as hear it !! I've seen girls new to drag racing break down and cry with the shock when they first experience a fueler run !!
@turboslag i was at the us nationals once and i had all my stuff in a bag i got in the pits and as the race went on the cars literally shook the bag off of the 2 ft wide feet area and it fell below the stands
@marshgatelaneposse nobody knows for sure how much power they make but they estimate around 8000 hp which would mean a little more then the ENTIRE output of a f1 car's engine is being produced by jsut one of those pistons you see in that short block
Hard to believe with the number six piston being upside down didnt break the head of the valve off and cause alot more damage to the piston and deck

You can weld it,patch it up a bit,but she'll never jump again :) It can probably get some use in normal,everyday car that won't go to the peak....
