LOL, that is because JCHammond and I go in together on fuel and order a good bit at once.

I get it delivered to my garage door for less than $5 per gallon! My house is about 110 miles from the distributor.

This has been an option I've been looking into as well there is a distributor not to far from where I live.

New Intercooler has been made. Just looked at the pictures. Won't be long and it will head off to be coated.

I'm no thermal dynamics engineer

but that 4.5" thick core has got to be so much more efficient

It is 3.5in Bell core. The end caps were really restrictive. Guess we will see how this works.

For some reason I was thinking 4.5. Still an inch thicker than the FI. That inch adds a lot of area

Yes, but it restricts air flow to the radiator. Not sure what core FI uses either. The Bell core is one of the best.

Right on! I don't mind paying a little more in getting all the benefits of having the consistency and quality of the fuel over pump e85. I guess I'm still suffer from having issues with dirty e85 and my fuel pump system not being able to filter or perform because of the quality of pump e85 seven years ago.

That's a good point about the radiator air flow restriction. Bell is definitely one of the best

After seeing my injector test results, I'm kind of scared of pump e85 too. I'll definitely be getting the ID F750 fuel filter

Bigger is not always better, but how you use your tool is! Airflow is king in the road racing or time attack world. Most extreme time attack builds are only looking at putting down three laps at a time due to over heating issues. I know the other factors are the tires degradation starts after more than a couple of hot laps and fuel capacity is limited to like nine gallons for weight savings. That said if you can't get a good lap in the first three to four laps your tires will need a break.

That would be the best move. It will meet you injector filtration requirements.

Time Attack, you're balls out from the get go for 4 laps then you're done. Using the softest tires. Road racing, you're trying to make everything last for the distance. Tires, you might be on mid or hard compounds.

Garrett cores are good also. They have the new dense fin design. SOHO is just making me what they know works.
