Naah hahaha thats an ignition problem or just need new plugs im not sure. if im not 100% WOT it will break up at like 5k if i am 100% WOT it wont break up like that. It actually blew off in my driveway haha.

cars looking real clean ian, when did you get that intercooler or have you had it for a while??

oh and i saw another kid like 6 minutes after you with a silver 8 with an ams intercooler, anyone know him?

 

Ah I see it did sound like it cleaned up when you got on it, I guess thats a small price to pay for a 10sec street car haha! When you running up PRP again?

Thanks man but mines pretty dirty with all the rain... I got the AMS last summer after I ran over a deer on the way home from PRP lol, but its not the race FMIC. I know the silver 8 but I cant remember his name, he posts here occasionally I think...

 

any pgh meets comin up at all i havent been to one in a while

 

Any of you guys going to Buschur's Show/Races on Aug 15 & 16? I'm going to try and make it both days.

 

yup i will be there!

 

Work on weekends FTL

 

hm im debating it ha

 

Yeah I had a jestr tune on my car for a few years... ran pretty good until I started changing parts lol. How did that AMS flash work out for you?

 

the ams flash was alright...only complaint was the gas mileage......just wanting to try something different

 

A mail in tune is no doubt a great way to get off the ground and running. But for the next round, you should look at a custom tune. Its more money, but you will eventually spend just as much on mail in's.

 

Hey I gotta question for one or all of you "corn-holers" out there... Are there any problems with storing E85 short/long term. I just had an thought of getting a 55gal drum so I could get it easier than going to Monroeville every 100 miles or so.... just figured I'd ask here before I started digging.. Thanks

Edit: Storing in a heated garage

 

try taking it somewhere and actually putting it on a dyno and getting a real tune, rather than relying on a standard mass produced map. I am sure there are dynos around your area somewhere.. mail in flashes are for people in Alaska or Hawaii, not for cars near shops.

 

hell their is a shop right in penn hills that does tuning.

 

I have not herd of any thing bad happing to e85 when it is stored. i say go for it and just keep an i on your afrs.

 

whats up ian.

i did some research over last winter before i switched over to e85 just to look at potential problems. ethanol has a natural propensity to accumulate water from the surrounding air more than gasoline, meaning that it can go "stale" if not stored properly. however, people tend to overexaggerate how quickly it will go stale.

bottom line: store it properly in a well sealed drum, in a garage with consistant temps that dont reach extremes on either end of the spectrum, and your ethanol should last you a very very long time. even if you didnt have a temp controlled garage, i think you'd be fine if you got a good seal

im sure someone will try to argue me, but just my 2 cents
