FP Red + E85 + Stock Motor (cams)
There was an incident on the dyno.
On the last pull he did, at about 7000rpms something blew.
He thought it was a head gasket or water pump or something of that sort, so he stopped.
He said that he was going to be done on that pull anyways. He suggested I buy a new head gasket and ARP headstuds, which I did. His inspection of what happened was very poor and very little. He looked around for maybe 1-2 minutes to see if there were any leaks...Then pretty much wished me luck.
Got home only to find out it was the AC. There is a hole in it somewhere.
I emailed him back to tell him and only to hear the same thing. That he felt it was maxed and wasn't going any further.
I honestly think he was fed up with it because I had an EBCS that had to be switched and a Omni 4 bar that he didn't like, but who knows.

I could see the 360-370 on pump but the E85 numbers should be higher for that boost level.. Process of elimination.. Do a proper leak down test first to save yourself some time..

To the OP. I would recommend a proper boost leak test, then a leak down and compression check to make sure the car is at 100% or not.

He said it was a Megan, so I thought it might be resonated.
OOOH! Perceptive of you to p/u on that detail, EVO8LTW. Now I understand where you're coming from. Thanks for clearing that detail up.

Did he gap the plugs? On stock ignition they need to be gapped down to about 22 or lower. I'm one step colder and still have some issues (COP is on the way).
