E85 Evo Green best e.t 11.3 best mph 123
So the goal is 10s on this setup at 125 plus. Going to install an external wastegate, fix the headgasket, and see if we can get it to boost above 25psi...if we can, I think this goal is very attainable on a decent set of tires.
The head gasket has a little bit of coolant pushing problem from last year, had lots of miss firing going on with the factory ignition and that is mostly the blame for it, it didn't help that last year he had the factory radiator split on him loosing coolant while he was on a business trip in Utah, he had that warrantied in Utah, with the coolant loss from the radiator it very well could have moved the head some.
It doesn't help that we had a walbro fuel pump fail on us last year as well. So between the radiator splitting on him, the missfiring, and the fuel pump, it's hard to tell what caused what.
Since then we have put a 1g DSM coil pack/igniter in the car and has cleared up the missfire completely. nothing too serious, fills the overflow bottle half way after each pass, just needs a fresh head gasket. The car has been pushed hard for the past 72,000 miles, and when I mean hard, I mean every day of it's life, I would say this motor has over 800 track passes on it and gobs of street racing passes on it as well. And that is the only thing that is wrong with it. These motors can take a beating! I've been very impressed with how much abuse they can take.

Yeah I have done a good job of testing the capabilities and reliability of this motor for sure lol...I'm so thankful nothing significant has broke...never left me stranded. Which is good because it is currently my only car lol
