Message your car. If i remember correctly you had some rod bearing issues on one of your cars - were you running meth on that ?

I have been poking around the dsm sites and it seems that a ton of people running meth on a regular basis were loosing bearings withen a few thousand miles. Further investigation revealed that they were washing down the cylinder walls while they were off boost leading to too much bore wear and bearing wear due to the oil being diluted. One of the guys sent his oil off for analasis and it confirmed his suspicion.

Supposedly 99 % of progressive meth systems use pump speed as a way to control injection and its not accurate enough work in part throttle or on and off transitional situations. As a result they end up getting too rich between shifts leading to problems.

Anyway - might be something for you to investigate on a z application.
