Old parts will be FS soon

I'm considering pulling the TB and JRSC Inlet off and have them ported/matched (Maxbore TB and then custom on the inlet). I'd like to break the A3 JRSC record hence the reason I'm still running this motor

After I get this setup going well I'll be moving to a K24A1 and moving my mods over as well. The first after cooled EP3? Prob not but I'll joining the crew either way unless I choose to save myself the cash and go turbo instead. Just hard to leave the JRSC and its lack of maintenance vs turbo.

I have a 2 new sets of the NGK Iridum 7/8 heat range. Opinions on running the 8 heat range?

I dyno on November 20th, if I dont break 260whp I will burn this car to the ground.

Yeah, that's an important thought. e85 burns so much faster i only average 200-230 miles per tank if i drive nice, and maybe 150miles a tank when i push it.

Must be nice to have E85 around you all the time.. nothing another nozzle can't deal with though. Your gains aren't a surprise, it's like running plain 93 octane with a large nozzle for meth injection. Prob not a good comparison but you should get the idea. I will be running 70% methanol for now to try and cool the charger itself down. I'd rather run N20 for the job but I'll pass on seeing pistons/rods punching a hole in the block...........

oh youll know sir! i'm actually looking to smash that slip (no offense obviously) im gunning for a 12.99. thats my personal goal. i think with 225/50 hoosier's and about 265hp its pretty possible :)

Haha! I am looking forward to it. 12.99 is definitely attainable, especially on slicks. I figured I would have been able to squeeze out a 13.2 on slicks if I were able to grab a 1.8 60ft.

Think on re11's it would be possible for 13.2 at 290whp debating on dropping coin for slicks. I have never been drag racing so debating just trying first on street tires.

I have a set of 15" Rota Slipstreams with BF Goodrich Drag radials for sale that are already mounted and great for the track. I dropped over .5 by switching from street tires to street legal drag radials.
