Isn't there any Dennis Kirk stores in the metro? Go to one of them to try some on. The only one I know of is by Rush City, but that's a long ways from you

Well looking at my finances right now, I might have to buy someone to borrow a helmet lol. I didn't realize how much I sunk into the car last month...that and a new 400 dollar phone raped me, need to live on the cheap for a month.

Gonna try 30psi and 8500rpm now...see if 600whp happens...car is running superb as of now, so mind as well push it right? Thats what I built it for...haha. But I don't think I will run that map all the time, that will be racemode map.

Car is running well, so WHY push it? ugh. I dont understand.

[turbotalon1g]

lol racemode.

Car is running well, so WHY push it? ugh. I dont understand.

We have been going super slow with it, very slowly bumping it up. I am not pushing it yet, it's not even 30psi yet, which is pretty normal for E85.

The car should continue to run well after another 2-3psi. I was revving it out to 8800 last fall, so I have dropped that down a lot for all the testing (8000) now just revving it out to where I want it.

I am not really trying to "push" it, just seeing what it takes to crack 600whp. The tuning, stepping up has occurred over weeks of logging/testing... if shit happens it happens. No sense in having this car built like this to not make power, if I am afraid to break it I mind as well sell it and buy something I am comfortable with. I am taking the necessary precautions.

Just for reference...the motor and head from the manufacturer are good to 10,000 rpms and like 800whp+...so its overbuilt. Like I said, if it fails, it fails and part of the mod game.

Are you going to rev it till the power starts to drop? Or are you going to play it safe and just rev it to 8000rpm?

Power didn't really tip over before at 8800rpms. But I am going to just run 8500. I will rev it out a bit more at the track if I ever need to in order to stay in 4th but one step at a time. I think 8500 is pretty safe for my setup.

[Murlo26]

Running a bit lean now...adding fuels up top some. Was really hot out today, killed my chance at bigger power, but the car seems very consistent.

If the car is running good, I would just stop and enjoy it for the rest of the summer. It's about to be July, enjoy that bish while it's nice out!
