Well, this year has been a bit of a **** show. Last August, I heard the car stutter and lean out (again), so I let out and drove back to the pits. But it didn't sound right.
I make it home and then check the oil filter, it's a total glitter fest. Oh well, at least it was the last track day of the year. Basically I take it apart, find the nuked bearings from detonation and then the surprise of melted pistons. I don't like these icon forged pistons, been through a couple of sets. Barely get lean and they melt the tops. I was tired of spending a bunch of money, So i swap out my other stroker crank (balance is for 10g lighter pistons, good enough for me). New bearings, New pistons, stainless gas ported rings. Fire this sucker up and it chooches like a coal train in 1889.
Narrow down the #1 cylinder just filling with oil. After months of fighting this sucker and finding out my trickflow heads had some bent valves. I find the oil control rings on the #1 cylinder got buggered up, fixed that put on my old CNC ported speedmaster heads. Get it all running and instantly strip a shaft stud and break the rocker shaft.

FML. After some backyard engineering with a time-sert kit and a file, fixed the heads. Now my compression is down to about 9.45:1. I have given up on e85 for the moment since it's a pain to get, I'm now back on pump gas and modified my Brawler 950 for boost. It works pretty well, the plus side to all this is the pump gas. I don't have to worry about where to find fuel or making sure I take a trip to another state to pick up e85, It doesn't overheat and still feels peppy.
I am going to make a meth injection kit to add a mix pre-turbo, or tap the housing and add a nozzle so the meth has a chance to cool before it gets to the carburetor.
