Summer Upgrades

[Laserguy]

So the season is officially over. I started to work out the little bugs of a new car. First thing was a spring change a little valving adjustment. I need to wait awhile to see how we did on the shocks. 

Next I added an oil cooler. I went with Mocal heat exchanger which should drop oil a decent amount without a significant drop in oil pressure.

Finally is the E85 tuning. We had some hiccups at the higher boost levels on E85 where the spark would get blown out with even with a low .016” gap. I am going to upgrade to the smart Holley coils to see if I can fix that. But of course like everything, they are on backorder! Also got a nice set of firecore50 plug wires to go with the coils.

Forgot about the transmission breather upgrade to the middle of the car. I think I posted this before the site crash.
