Message	How ironic that you'd be giving someone a hard time for trying something new. Keeping this on track - Well done zxtuner161. Keep up the good work. Hopefully you don't POP the motor any time soon but as that stock block is pushed to the limits eventually you'll cross the line and it'll go. It's all part of testing the limits of a new set-up. In the name of Z knowledge I kinda hope you do push it until it pops. What better way to learn the limit of your set-up. The best part is that it's a stock block that can be swapped out over a weekend - probably 1 day with the OP's knowledge & experience - and probably for a a grand total cost of <$500. Given that his car appears to be (mainly) a track vehicle, I'd say that's pretty desirable. Even a $15,000 IPP motor will eventually wear as a result of abuse at the track. I'm pretty sure there's a recent post with a guy showing his valve wear on an IPP build with Ferrea valves. Which repair bill would you rather pay? I just wish we had ETHANOL up here. Its unlikely that the "UP TO 10% blend" in our 94 Octane would have the benefits of lower combustion heat that is seen in an E85. Sad thing is I've been to several ethanol plants all within a 2 hour drive - there are simply no retail outlets.

End of story. (n/m) - zxtuner161 22:05:21 10/12/14 Interestingly, our 94 octane is a 10 percent ethanol blend - ConVerTT 23:10:11 10/12/14 Greg tuned both my boosted NAs... - ConVerTT 22:47:15 10/12/14 Exactly. I am running high compression as well because of - MixManMash 07:41:34 10/13/14 because you should use the same setup on 91 octane as e85 - Antihero 10:22:45 10/14/14 You're letting others' interpretations of my statement - TriniTT 10:32:42 10/14/14 W to the TF?!? - vorpalZ 23:12:03 10/12/14 Reading comprehension owns you. - TriniTT 08:49:09 10/13/14 Wait a second… YOU are the rain guard guy - Zbullet 11:21:43 10/13/14 chuckle, yep... irony overload (n/m) - vorpalZ 23:13:09 10/13/14 Only ironic for a douchebag like you who can't read - TriniTT 10:22:49 10/14/14 .
