blew up my first engine

[69camarokid]

so yesterday night i was at adams motorsports track in riverside for their grip driving tuesday nights. I was racing my 69 camaro with a mildly modded LT1 and t56.
It started out well as i beat my buddy in his 08 STi. This is particularly impressive as his engine isnt stock. hes running a stroker kit that brings him to 2.7L and is running 24 lbs of boost. plus long tube header, exhaust, intake the whole 9 yards.

but he still wins overall as his car is still ALIVE.
Mine not so much. I blew a rod out the side of my oil pan. My gf was in the car filming so when i get the vid from her ill post it. This is the first time ive ever blown up and engine and im not to stoked on it. Im waaaay to poor of a college student for this to work.

But im planning on rebuilding the LT1 with forged internals and lower end and stroking her out to a 383 while im at it. Ill be posting in the engine section if anyone has any knowledge or good advice about either LT1s of 383.
