33psi. I'm pretty sure it was spark blow out again last night. :angryfire:It was still fun! I'm really pumped to get my tune finished up :beer:

Also, since I'm a huge ricer at heart, I lowered the car another inch yesterday:

It's lower but not slammed. We rode around with 4 people total in the car last night and never rubbed. There's a bit of toe on the rears which I will correct.



Another item that needs addressing is crank case evacuation/ventilation. I have been having issues with my dip stick wanting to shoot out. I put a spring on it and now oil is coming out of my oil fill cap. With that much pressure I really need something better. I'm thinking keep the system as I have it now but just with -8AN breathers to a catch can. Sound reasonable? I'm "burning oil" now with how much is coming out of the cap.

I'm 99% sure I lifted the head in the car (or the HG was bad when I bought it).

What are everyone's thoughts on replacement?

I have a few options:

1: re-use standard ARP head studs, get new Felpro/Cometic 87mm head gasket, resurface head, call it a day
Pros: cheap, will probably handle the power fine
Cons: there is still risk of head gasket failure due to lifted head

2: new ARP L19 head studs, new Felpro/Cometic 87mm head gasket, resurface head, call it a day
Pros: this setup will probably never have issues
Cons: expensive, but less expensive than option 3

3: new MAP H11 head studs, new Felpro/Cometic 87mm head gasket, resurface head, call it a day
Pros: probably indestructible
Cons: easily the most expensive route


So, what would you guys do if you were me? I don't plan on ever running more than 25PSI (and I know some people say that, but I mean it)! :nod:

Also, what should I do for a head gasket? I've heard good things about the Cometic Phuzion, but it's expensive.

A1's/L19's, and fel pro permatorque.

[Tachyon]

A1's/L19's, and fel pro permatorque.

This.

I've never pushed coolant on this setup... which is more than I can say for a lot of other combos I've tried.

[C3L1CA]

L19's and a felpro permatorque. Done and done

I starting lifting the head at 480 on DB's dyno, went to L19's and a permatorque and never had a problem with more power.

Ordered L19s, PermaTorue, Magnus heat barrier intake manifold gasket & Mr. Gasket exhaust manifold gasket.

Goodbye $500.

This car is still around? Wow.

This car is still around? Wow.

Yeah, it's been sitting in Bryan's garage for a while, he got a Mercedes and doesn't want to mess with these things anymore, I kinda envy him. :D

I had fun today guys. It was nice meeting a few of you and supporting a good cause.

Dyno numbers are so-so. It's pig rich and on stock timing. I need someone who really knows what they're doing to get her cleaned up. It runs good though and I'm real happy with it.

We left Duluth this morning at 6AM (meaning I had to get up at 4:15AM!) with a really cool group and a LOT of fast cars.

Anyway, the dyno was fun and a first for me. Here are the results:

Can you see a difference between run 1 and then runs 2 and 3? Jordan worked a little 10 second tuning magic there, lol.
