Great build! Few questions:

1. Were you running 22psi on the track?
2. E85 on track?
3. How were your temps looking?
4. EGTs?

Keep up the good work!

I was running around 27lbs on the track because it likes to creep
E85 yes on the track
coolant stayed at 84C the whole time.
I think I run around 1100-1200 on my EGTs on the track.

I dont have a data log because my TC-4 is not working correctly right now I didnt have time to tinker with it at the track

how were your EGTs on the track while running the e85? i would consider modding my fuel system for e85 and cranking the boost up if i can rip through 5th gear and have low EGTs at 20psi...

edit: just saw your post above. my bad

EGT seems kinda low (kind of a guess though, as i've never ran e85). did you all save any datalogs of the EGT?

What do you think about the rotary works v-mount setup? I'm still try to figure out which way to go front mount or v-mount. Have seen v-mount is preferred and been looking at this setup might sell my koyo to get one. Thanks

Egts were actually kinda high, 1700 deg f. This is mostly from the high boost levels. We intend to do some more Dyno tuning and I will see if we can get them to come down a little..Generally they are 200 deg f cooler vs gasoline.

Hahaha that is a Go-pro but he just has it in his hand! I have a bunch more Video from our local car meet/cruize we did on Sunday just trying to gather it from my friends.

Yea my buddy Robert has rocked the 1/2 bridge for a while now and he has convinced me... I think it is more on what you want to do with the car. If it is just a street machine I think it is not recommended due to the loss of drive ability. But my buddy Robert drove all over the place with a 1/2 soo I think its all opinion base on what annoys you ha
