The good!
Found some MAJOR boost leaks.
1) two bolts on the turbo compressor housing backed out leaked at 2 psi
2)throttle body gasket was on backwards leaking very heavily
3)egr block off plate was leaking also and fixed
4) remounted the fan on the other side of AC condenser allowing me to put my filter back on the car.
The bad!
plugs were fouled thanks to me putting around antilaggin couldnt run even the same levels of boost, but on E85 picked up almost 60whp on straight E85 without good plugs
there should be between another 20-40 whp left on that tune alone...
also the boost is falling off about 4psi EVERYWHERE. 24 down to 20 and 35 down to 31. going to double up my wastegate springs because i only have a single blue one bar one in there, and also going to try an AEM boost solenoid if that dont show results

Here is a quick video of the E85 tune and a fly by!



Thanks to advance and or anyone else having the NGK plugs instock i couldnt get em in time... Very soon!

Too many Ravens fans. And the worst part is they actually think the Ravens are good.

If I wasn't a Chiefs fan I would be on board - but what the hell I can say? I am suffering through one of the all-time low points in history of the franchise

rebuilding sucks.....but in the end if done right is worth it

Started liking them when i was 12 - was a huge Marcus Allen fan and he is still my all-time favorite running back. Then they just kind of stuck with me, I liked the history of the team and franchise with the owner (Lamar Hunt) being one of the main reasons why the NFL even exists today.....

So 16 years later I am still a fan..

Not saying I hate the Steelers as being from PA and growing up in a Steelers home I have always respected and liked them them and followed them just about as close as KC. I just don't consider them my favorite team....my dad still asks where he went wrong with me

Too bad you didn't get back to my PM from saturday. I was going to order a clutch this morning to put in wed night early thur AM so that we could race. I'm sure your too busy with whatever but it sure would have been nice to get a race in before the roads get slippery.

Got a dyno graph of the 600whp? I can give my bud nate a call for the graph but he's busy and I'd like to bother him instead of you.

Cool beans is a curious phrase that uses nonsense to bring humor into a joyful exclamation. It originated in American pop culture during the late 1960s. Slang of this time is known to center around illogical phrasings of words, and "cool beans" is among the most durable lengthy late 60's era terms. It is used when referring to something with a positive connotation, for example, "That party was cool beans." Much like other hip slang words "cool beans" has faded with times, but it can be heard occasionally by those who've tempted to bring it back.


Its all about keeping "cool beans" alive.......nothing gay about it
