Did you change any of the fuel lines at all as I got told E85 will eventually corrode the factory lines and sender unit

Some lines have been changed yes

Just looking at converting to E85 is all thought I'd ask a few questions on the conversion

It's definitely worth making the switch. Too many easy gains from it not to and it's becoming more and more readily available

Gee where to start, Needless to say the last week has been pretty full on.

After many a delay I finally got the car back on Friday. After noticing the car was on the dyno at 10:30am on Friday I expected to get a call around 12:30pm-1pm stating that its done. It came to 3:30pm and I hadn't heard anything so I gave them a call. Apparently the car ran out of fuel on the dyno during tuning and they had to go get some more (I dropped it off with a full tank). I let them know it takes me 2 hours to get there so if they know when it will be ready i can start heading there earlier so they arent hanging around waiting for me all arfternoon. Finally got a call back at 5:30pm stating that its nearly finished and to head down.

They advised on the phone that it made 630rwhp on 29psi, however the head was lifting and they wanted to "dial it back" a bit to make it safe for powerplay.

Arrived there at about 7pm and got chatting about the car. Even though the car has ARP head studs it was still lifting. I thought "righto at that pressure I guess it needs looking at". Then came the "Dialed Back" numbers. They ended up bringing it all the way back to 451rwhp on 15psi. I still and even now am surprised they had to drop it back so much to make it run safely. Due to the time of night and a bit of disbelief on my behalf I didnt go into depth about the lifting issue etc.

By the time we got the car loaded onto my mates tow truck and got it back home & back into the shed it was 11pm. After finishing off other setup jobs for powerplay the next day I got to bed at 12:30am.

NOTE : I DO have dyno sheets for both the 630 runs and the 451 runs. I will scan and upload them hopefully tonight.
