Motor went finally!
So after 5 years of good news I finally have some bad. Front iron cracked last week. First pass I did my famous 2nd to 1st gear shift still went 6.4 at 110mph. Log showed it was like slamming the brakes on 
. Second pass the clutch started slipping in 2nd thru the rest of the run, had a little break up noise going theu the traps. I think the damage was done the prior run. Oiled the track bad. Luckly not the tires too much. Got the car home and didnt know were the leak was so added some oil and it fired right up only to spit oil out the crack.
Tore it down and here are the results:

So it shows the rotors were making contact. Front bearing doesnt look good either. Housings have marks but feel pretty smooth but have better ones I can use on the rebuild. Have to check the e shaft to see if its bent but would guess it is. Before I even tore it down Ray called it.. Said contact was made on the rotors/housings. So I need to figure out what I want to change on the next build. Since its a weekend drag car I dont believe in putting a crap ton in the build, new housings, etc... Not being cheap but too many things can kill a motor.
How offers rotor work? Want them taken down on the faces and sides.
