I think that may be looked upon as an unfair advantage for the purposes.

I'd say BlackJack had a very good run concidering the loss of one cylinder. Good job of it and better luck next time!

It was ok. It'll be classified under "Very Good" when he breaks into the 11's.

oh, I get it. It will be a "very good" run when I break into the 11's on 5 cylinders?
I'd say it was a very good run with the rotational mass being short one cylinder and off balance.
I'm disappointed about the situation, but not at all disappointed with the time vs. conditions.

I think spilner is kinda playing with you.
Actually, we would expect your set up to run mid 13 with 5 cylinder, at least ... pfff 
You crazy joking Spilner... 
Seriously, its a bummer dude, but I guess that at your current modding point, those unpredictable things happens on a daily basis.
I hope the best to you so you can fix that and FINALLY furfill our expectations

actually...you may all be in for some disappointment, but the details are still up in the air.
i MIGHT (not decided yet) demod the Alero and buy the project '66 Chevelle SS 396 I've always been wanting. Since I'm leaving for the sandbox shortly, I have to balance what I want to do versus what I have time to do.

Just some good old e-sarcasm  I agree, 14.5 is pretty good when you're missing one of your cylinders, it's faster than almost everyone else on here I should've said "It'll be very good when he breaks into the 11's running on all 6 cylinders".

damn, that sucks, kinda funny thought cuz that is exactly what happened when my motor blew 2 years ago, except also the #6 piston turned into about 5 pieces. I was trying to thread the spark plug back in with my wife pouring ice onto my hand just so I could get the car to limp home.......and with the project car, do whatever you want, that's all i am doing with the alero, my dreamcar.........

14.5 is still better than 99.9% of the people here. Good luck on your next run.

hahaha.....I didn't see any of the posts after my last because my email notifier apparently wasn't working.
Yeah, the only reason I'd de-mod it is because I want to keep the car for a daily driver. I still love the car, but when I think about how much more I planned to pour into it over the next couple of years, it makes me realize how I could afford my Chevelle for about the same money.
