Nice!! Super excited for you that it's back together! Congrats, Gabe. That camera is awesome! Also goes to show that you can't cheat the heat. Headers gonna header. All we can hope to do is knock it down as much as we can.

Exactly, gotta get that heat out and down as fast as possible... protect surrounding parts, and promote better underhood heat extraction...

Super excited to get some value data, and start using testing with my faster responding IAT sensors now on both before and after the SC bricks

What content of E did you used to run before you said? Was it E50 or E60? You'll be so much happier showing up to pumps and just taking the straight yellow pump to the car without having to sit there and mix crap. Lol.

yes sir, I was between E45-55 depending on the weather...
Interested to see if it will support straight E with more boost.

It will be another week or so before I put the front clip on in order to properly street tune, as I am waiting to test fit my final revised design for the crash bar air deflectors. So for now, just working on low speed stuff around the block.

No kidding on the straight E-85 fill ups! I remember the days I ran E60, I would stand at the pump with cell phone in hand, open the E85-Calculator app and start entering numbers to try and re-hit the magic E60 # !

I don't remember what size fuel lobe you got but it will definitely be the critical factor on your high side for sure. We covered all this several times over at this point though. I'm curious to know how that shakes out for you though.

I DO NOT miss any of that at all. It is such a a pain in the rear.

I agree, the OEM HPFP will be the next weak link. I have (2) on pre-order with XDI... no idea when they will see them, but when they do, I may keep one for myself.

My JRE Terminator Cam has a 32% Fuel Lobe...

I am expecting to see 850rwhp (old was 770rwhp) but who knows...
Maybe more depending on how hard we lean into it with boost.
Likely won't be on a DYNO for another month or two...

Should start street tuning as early as 1 week from now.
Quick shake down runs around the block sound and feel awesome.
So happy to have her wheels on the ground!

Oh yeah man. You're gonna have the same issue I am if that's the case. 32% is quite an increase in allowable fuel overdrive but apparently for us it's right at its limitations. What a pain right. My car needs to hurry up and complete all of its checks so I can get back to the flashing some tunes in it and see if I can find a different strategy to handle the high side topping out, though something tells me that I'm going to need that Goliath at the end of the day.

Went for another shake down drive today... and fixed an oil leak caused by a loose temperature sensor after my oil cooler... Car feels strong, just waiting for my final test fit of the NEW crash bar air deflectors before I put the front clip back together...

Also, made time while waiting for them, to conduct a smoke test in order to actually show the air being trapped inside the large bumper cavity using a floor drying fan, smoke bombs, and lights.... footage was shot at 240fps with a wind speed around 25mph. I think the video speaks for itself. More testing on its way, but this was a start.

I guess I cannot upload a GIF... So I added it to the website HERE.

That definitely helps show the air getting caught back there! Looking forward to my GMS plate arriving soon so I can get this bad boy fitted up.

Thanks Josh, I agree... looking forward to see you bolt it up! Thanks again for the support!

I think you've had your front bumper off as many times as Radz has dropped his fuel tank haha
