i was watching a highway race between full built ss, ls6 (heads intake) + cam ss, full built ws6, viper, and twin turbo 35th anny camaro...

lets just say alot of windsheilds got covered inf coolant... he got on it just bam... some say it came from the ehxaust (ouch)... and a few say it was just from under the hood (the engine was soaked)...

what the hell happened... im thinking head gasket (hes running 8:1 compression and its well built)... i mean wouldnt that blow condensation out the exhaust and cause a pressure spike and blow antifreeze out of the reservoir? guy that owned the car didnt seem to think so... but...

Could very easily be a blown head gasket.

That much water couldnt come out the exhaust. thats hydrolock territory.

im guessing hes talkin about the TT 35th since he said that it was running 8:1compression

oh true i guess they are all pretty bad ass cars... yeah the TT 35th... we pulled into a car wash and it wasnt like dumping coolant... and the guy in the vip said he tought he saw it blow out the exhaust...

"ummm its kinda hard to miss something like that when there is centered up exhaust about 3 feet in front of you" think those were pretty close to his exact words...

dont get me wrong... there was alot under the hood and up his windsheild, but i didnt see any blown hoses and it wasnt pumping water on the ground... owner said ht thought the rad cap was blowing... will just the change in RPMs make the water pump pump fast enough to do that?...
