the skinny:

car has a texas-speed heads/cam package. cylinder head failed at low engine speed, car was then towed to TTP. TTP is great and is getting my car buttoned up so i can get back to accruing speeding tickets. more info will be posted once i get it back. thankfully (and surprisingly), the short block was unharmed! :w00t: the new setup won't be too radical because i will be saving up for a "rainy day new motor fund" which i realized is crucial when your dealing with modded engines.

Wow, the casting looks very thin. Good luck with the rebuild.

Matt determined that that is the cause of teh failure. I will be contacting Texas-Speed about this and see what they offer to remedy the situation.

new cam. no need for high lift with stock heads and one of the lobes is kinda scarred. haven't decided yet which one though
