Also what kind of WHP numbers was your car putting down with that 7 bolt motor on E85 before you blew her up?


I finally took the motor out and also took it apart. I will be updating by build thread this week with pics.
In terms of power, i was running on pure e85 with timing degrees above 20. DSM experts concluded i exceeded torque limits for stock 7 bolt rods. My last log in link estimated 498 hp at 31.8 psi.
