i should have the iroc running by halloween so ill update this when its moving . thanks for your input tho are you gonna gap the stock rings tho . i believe youll still need to do that
you prob won't make it past about 12 psi before you start floating the valves. In my experience anyway that's about the spot, different engines and turbos will act different. Best to throw some pacs in and be set imo. They're cheap enough.
EDIT, especially if you're gonna pull it all apart and gap the rings.

I -think- I will gap them 0.028 and 0.030" so that as I turn the wick up, I am less likely to break it.
But part of me thinks I will be perfectly fine sticking to 15psi, in which case I would run .022" and 0.024" or maybe .024" and 0.026".
I haven't decided. It's just going to be my daily; never taken to the track.

I Think i can do 600s with e85 and 12 or 15 psi easy. everyone has been saying so that it shouldnt be a problem.
im switching because i live down the street from a e85 station. so i shouldnt have a problem fueling and its so much better for the car since im going F.I
