> The corn is pump fuel , I’m gonna stand by that cause its what I’m gonna run also lol . Still room for better fuel than e anyway . Travis’s car is deff fast ill never say it isn’t , I applaud Trav for doing what he did with his parents as many wont do it . Emans car was built not bought , Travis car was bought and semi refined not built . Emans car is nowhere near maxed out , his only limit is belt slippage over 8 psi but like I said I can get another 100+ h.p out of it as it sits .

Thanks for the positive statement about my parents. Even if it was just selling us a hood, you helped us reach an important goal. In regards to the ‘semi refinement’, here it is (what I remember)

1)Bottom end rebuild with new rods/pistons  
2)Replaced cylinder head/valvesprings/etc  
3)Uprgraded head studs  
4)Upgraded fuel rail/injectors/fuel line/fuel pumps/2nd fuel pump triggering system  
5)Replaced pressure plate/all clutch hardware  
6)Upgraded clutch slave hyralic hose  
7)Removed/replace entire rear diff  
8)Upgraded ignition (twice)  
9)Upgraded header, exhaust housing, lower intercooler piping  
10)Powercoated basically everything  
11)Upraded radiator  
12)Installed (2) oil coolers  
13)Installed FJO wideband on custom bracket  
14)Installed oil pressure, oil temp, water temp and ethanol content gauges  
15)Installed STM small brake kit  
16)Sourced/installed 2 piece aluminum driveshaft  
17)Rebuilt/repaired throttle body  
18)Repaired entire wiring harness  
19)Installed alternate map switch  
20)Performed signifigant weight loss on the entire car  
21)Engineered/R+D’ed fuel additive to combat E85 injector gunking  
22)Installed 3 port boost solenoid

Thats about it for things off of the top of my head…

I maintain/upgrade aircraft mechanical/electrical systems for a living. I take my job very seriously as there are lives on the line each time a pilot leaves the ground in an aircraft that I’ve maintained.

_ **You cant pull over at 10000 feet if the engine stalls or if you can’t control the aircraft.** _

I put the same level of integrity into working on my cars. The Evo was ‘unsafe at any speed’ when I purchased it and I’ve worked very hard to take it to where it’s at today.
