Still getting 10s .......
Breaking engine ........
A whole winter to fix it (read: make more powerful) .......
See, it still ends on a happy note. Luckily I'm only going for fastest DD Shadow so I don't have to worry about you that much. I think you will be a serious force next year. Keep us updated on the fix and congrats on a great season.
You know these 2.4L street cars are fun! Not sure if I want to go with a bigger turbo now?
What's your turbo again? how does it spool on the street?

Sorry to hear about the snafu JT. Looks like you were really get it dialed in too. Would running a timing cover on the bottom of helped prevent the carnage? You were planning on pulling the head anyhow so I'm sure you will come out even better next time. Good luck! Your persistence will definitely pay off.
Hmmm... I need to compare what I have to the HE351, the GT35R on the shelf... and a couple bigger options

What I want is to keep adding things onto the list until I am the fastest. I think right now I am the fastest DD, 2.4, FWD, 2 door, neon hand braked, monaco blue Shadow with Einke Evos 5s. In fact I would be ballsy enough to say turbo dodge. Now I just gotta start knocking things off the list. Unfortunately, thanks to Mr. Brian "look at how cool I am" Slowe I will probably never get to knock the DD off.
In reality I didn't know Larry B still drove his to work. But that's fine, I'm always up for a challange.

Not funny but funny as that happened to me on the street, racing a turbo RX7, my serp belt came apart and made my cam timing jump, had to limp home very slowly.
As everyone said, you had a great year,
Piston damage is very very unlikely, I've never seen one get damaged from hitting the valves. The valves are too soft and bend over. You could have damaged some guides, maybe rockers but not the pistons,
I say Holset or GT35R. I really like my GT but if I killed it, the HE351 is going on,
