I mean, 219 is normal. Can you get a colder thermostat instead?

plot twist, Awafrican is his son

If that is airflow....yes that's a problem. If it's simply slangin' oil off the chain or whatever, then normal. Gen 2 VC is baffled right and that's what you have? I can pull the oil cap off on my LS1 with no oil splash and yeah, very very small amount of blowby at idle, with the other pcv...

Sucks but at the same time, good thing you found it now!

Finally put my dragy to use a bit. High DA lyfe. Back half of 60-130 killed me with that incline lol. I'll probably give that one another go sometime. 60-100

I had some junk in my old Miata oil pickup screen that probably was causal for low oil pressure and eventual spun rod bearing 1k miles later. Something ain’t quite right and made it change. Sucks but I would go back over everything.

Yes, thinner oil would in theory lower temps a little (less resistance to flow) bit but I have a hard time believing it would be significant. Biggest thing you need to worry about is maintaining sufficient oil pressure with high oil temps. With a good cooler setup and reasonable temps... a...

Yeah I am honestly very surprised he got it to hit that quick....that and mid range torque was biggest improvement from base tune or "OTS" style tune I was running before. And this is at 3600' feet and you can see the CF was 1.15, so usually spool takes a big hit. I DID do the pulls in 5th...

I'm always looking for permatex brand alternatives that are usually just as good but way cheaper lol.

I have a big tube of that thread sealant is use it for anything that is taper thread/NPT fitting. From turbo oil line feed fittings, methanol inj nozzles, catch can fittings, etc. etc. Never had an issue or a leak. Good shit. I'll use teflon tape still for simple, less critical stuff like...

I believe I am running the kraken hose too. Needed something quick and that's what was on amazon lol. I believe all the push loc stuff is the same-- that "400 series" hose or whatever.

whats your overall goal? what kind of fuel? direct injection only or will you be adding port injection?

I'm paranoid about fake spark plugs, I've been getting mine from rock auto.

When I talked to VP about this, they were worried about gasoline and methanol separating at these mix levels if it sat in the tank for too long. Any issues with that?

I just got dragy myself. Looks like it's spot on with the datalog. What I like about dragy is the simplicity and I don't have to worry about any sort of tire size speed error etc.

So proud of you, you're gonna be 8 years old. My little boy is growing up so fast.

That's a nice shift knob, looks like it would fit great in the hand. What's the weight on it?

Dang, I just bought some expensive silicone things like this on ebay to block off my TIP pcv vent on my S3 in order to do a boost leak test. Didn't even think of something like this.
