What kind of power would I see from Red with a Buschur head/2.0 bottom with supporting mods on E85? Anyone have this setup?

I had nothing but problems with that damn Oil Filter/Supply Line. I gave up all together and used the stock line. I finally got a pm from Forced Performance after I notified them of my problem but I just sat on it and never sorted it out with them. Kind of stupid since I spent the money on something I'm not using. I guess in the end I knew they weren't just going to let me send it back after it was already installed and refund me. If anyone is interested in buying one just shoot me a pm. I'll let it go very cheap.....just have to find a different crush washer I guess.

Was your problem getting the line to seal properly at the head?

Every one. There's no bypass, so the dirtier it gets the less oil pressure your turbo gets. It's not like a regular oil filter that maintains pressure when dirty.

Crush washers are only supposed to be used once.

Im running a double pumper but Im on E85. You won't need it if you plan to run pump/race gas.

Well I did my first oil change on the RED, The filter was fairly clean, I couldn't see anything or any debris in there at all. I went ahead an replaced the filter and two crush washers. Started the car and let it run for about 30 min. no leaks, hopefully it stays like that. It is a pain though to have to do it every oil change.
