800WHP with blower, borrowed time for engine and trans?

Lmao. He said longevity. I upped the boost when I went e85 and went boom.

How much boost? Ever narrow the problem?

So that's the rule or the exception?

Well e85 allows more boost and timing before knock or no knock. E85 alone adds power. So depending on his goals, more boost may not be needed.

18psi @ 8K. 4 bent rods and broken oil ring on piston #2. No evidence of headgasket failure. I'm assuming I just overpowered the rods.

18PSI at 8k and you wonder why the motor went? haha.

Yea I knew I would be on borrowed time. Just hoped to make it till winter. Now i get to do build 2 in the Texas heat.

I envision someday I'll do a motor build for this car. I need a daily beater first.

my goal is to not end up like j this year :lol:.

im guessing E85 to 7300 with maybe a few degrees more timing at same pulley would be just fine, if i swap to LTH or cat delete?

solution here is simple buy a boostworks twin turbo kit...............

I think you'd be fine at 14ish psi on E85. How much timing are you currently running on pump?

i was told i was locked to 16 degrees but im seeing 18 on half a can of torco at WOT. its in the log i posted in post 2.

once i run a few tanks through the car ill re-datalog now that i have it ironed out. when i was at the track the datalog would go away after a few seconds and i couldnt activate it at the line. ive since done a FW update to resolve the issue.

Expect around 23 on E85. It'll be a big difference. There are a number of paxton guys running the 3.48 on E85, which is 14ish PSI. Not sure if they are daily driving it or not.

Thanks Dick!

i am serious, and dont call me shirley....

oooohhhhhh hmmm.

oooohhhhhh hmmm.

There are a few centri guys that dynoed before and after E85 and got 80-105 rwhp.

Its from a different thread aimed at Phoenix nothing more nothing less. Just a little sarcasm.
