i used the bearings that came with these pistons/rods, i reused my crank, i did not do anything to the crank.

Wow, this is getting more and more interesting! Each time you make a change you push closer and closer to the detonation threshold. I love your style! (especially since you document the hell out of all of your adventures!!!!)

You're still running 93 octane with meth/water out of a pair of big nozzles, right? Was it like 70% meth out of a pair of #10s or something?

What meth kit are you using and how are you controlling when it comes on?

Thanks!

The e85 definitely should make the whole situation a lot more detonation resistant, so that is nice for making big power.

Re:The Prestone, I was under the impression that nothing you could buy pre-mixed like that was more than 50%? When I did some flamability testing (in my driveway Lol), I noticed that above 50% the flash point started getting a little dodgy. It didn't keep me from running up to 70%, but I was a little more careful with it then... I was mixing straight methanol from the sprint car shop with water from my RO water system.

Does it feel more devastating than the old motor did with this setup on it? I would think it should since the other motor was probably damaged from right after you put the current setup on...

You are the friggin man to be able to slam stuff together so fast and have it run so well. Most people can't get stuff to run this well when they're spending cubic dollars.

Can't wait to see what you can put down with this setup.

I watched your videos on installing this system.
Why are you changing and what are you going to use next?

Denmah do you think there would be any advantage to jump to the MS3 box? Do you plan to test one of those next?
