Thanks for the favorable response. Did you by chance notice an under hood temperature reduction with the Swain Tech Coating? The car runs better & parts live longer with less thermal stress.
Good point. I'll bet some folks have timing sets that fail durability testing at lower than valve spring pressures.
I did notice that it wasn't as hot as before and seemed to cool quicker , but I never did a before & after temp check . Also I coated the headers & down pipe when I put the new motor in and switched to E85 at the same time , so there was a while between the two .
This is not correct.i run m1 through my nt car I just run the correct amount,which is alot of itthere is a whole other level of usage for pump gas alky that some really fast guys are aware of.has nothing to do with the burn rate either.
I coated the down pipe and ex house but not inside it,it helps
This combo should run 10s even with a very soft 60ft,mine only needed 18 degrees of timing and 19psi to run 10s on a 64 billet turbo@3800lbs,each car is different though.
It's the front and rear my friend,and with the car balanced and transfering and staying balanced through the run you will be able to apply the power real early to get the car through the 330 quicker.
Obviously the M1 is a heat sponge, octane additive & combustion modifier. By combustion modifier I mean an agent to increase cylinder mixture motion (using a halo) to get the chamber out of hot spots / detonation. I had thoughts of developing a transition alky / fuel relation curve based on plug /egt imperical data & driven by XFI (as an example). NO SWAG. I was really hoping to keep the 109 running on pump gas & boostane @ 15 psi (not even in the turbo efficiency island) to check for leaks & provide run in miles (the new rings seat in 5 mins). Boostane was never tested in an "octane motor" but research only. It can't be stated as (R + M)/2 but only R/2 which makes no sense. The owner of Boostane told me about the testing of the product at the PRI show a few years back. He said Boostane's competitors only collected data based on a "research" scenario as well. The stuff seems to work but I question whether it lines up with their mix ratio publication on the can. Cal thought it works. This would be my street fuel. Track fuel would be an unleaded high octane like VP. Sorry to babble on.
Sam what fans are you using? My cooling scheme is a new Alradco with eng & trans coolers, B & M 20k gvw trans cooler, 160 stat (with holes below the water line), flow kooler water pump & my work to block off the gaps around the radiator. I run a front mount so this work may be profitable.
Yes it is.i have run against something running on every different fuel out there,but I love the m1 i even use it to lite my fire pit
ok back to threadLeft you a pm
I'm not sure on the brand of radiator , it was in the car when I bought it . It is an aftermarket aluminum similar to the Alradco with I believe Spal fans & 160 t-stat . The trans cooler is a #13960 Derale Hyper-cool 46000 btu with fan & 180* temp switch . The car seemed to run much cooler running E85 than before . Before the temps were up and down , now it's steady eddy 165 - 170 all day with the air off , maybe 10 - 15 degs. more withe air on .
