Bad ass man, its mod season now! Build a motor! Are you gonna do a higher compression motor since your running e85? Put it to the test.
I'm going to leak down and compression test the motor just to see where its at, and if all is looking well I'll probably put off building the motor for another season. Although, sometimes it has trouble going into gear on the co2 shifter - I'm wondering if ts a trans issue... if I have to go in to do trans work, I just can't see myself skipping rods, pistons and valvetrain since I'm already in there...
LOL Hoping the trans is just fine - its always had a very occasional problem missing a gear at the track.
After seeing the off-the-shelf pistons available, the compression ratios are definitely not an improvement... its either really high (12+) or really low (9ish). 12 is too high and 9 is definitely too low. Seems like a lot of them require base spacers as well... not digging that idea either. I ran 11:1 on my honda at 30psi on a gt4088r with e85 and the thing loved it. I'd love to run 10:1, intercool it and crank the boost up......
If the motor is good and I don't have to go into the trans (not sure how I'll figure that latter part out), then I just want to do a rpm-driven lockup, maybe lengthen the WB a bit with a new chain and sprockets (18/49 or 18/50) and actually clean it up (repair and paint the fairings form the rash from the previous owner).
