Car will be doing 1-2 events for 1/2 and 1/4 miles but primarily will be used for lapping/track days on road courses - likely will see 4-8 of those per year, maybe some nights in Mexico too.



I agree with this to a point. On the street I'll probably run a mix of 92 and e85... for track days I'll probably run pure e85.

I plan to have it tuned on pure E85 but instruct my tuner to keep timing conservative as the car probably won't the temps on a dyno that it will on track, and this way I can do less to diminish the cooling properties of E85. I'd think track temps will get MUCH higher as the car will be basically full tilt for 20-30 mins, as opposed to just 3-4 dyno pulls. I also don't plan to go much higher than 9psi for the same heat-related reasons.

I originally spec'd the built for the car to have low DCR, low-ish temps (for a PD Blower), and be very responsive/punchy at any RPM. However I was thinking I'd see 600-625whp... And then I saw a recent-ish thread that had the same setup I have but with stock exhaust and no cam, and it made 640/640. So I immediately knew my car would surpass my expectations (and that's also why I bought drop-in pistons), and now it's just managing heat. So even if we go super-low on timing it should still make mid-high 600s, which is just fine with me

I am curious how cool it'll stay with those 3 big ass HXs tho.



This basically solidifies my decision to not buy any more fueling parts til it's dyno'd/tuned. If there's not a need to spend another $1k+ I won't do it.
Pretty sure JRE does packages with all blowers. The one I was referencing was with a Magnuson since that is similar to your setup. I would expect to see power and boost be nearly identical on PD blowers. In other words, if you are running 7psi, you are at 550rwhp, if you run 10psi, you are in the 600whp range. Regardless, looking forward to your setup.
