Fire ring no. Never heard about that a decade ago. The step decking, couldn't tell ya.

A question to ask Tay at Dynastay.

I would say if the guy from Darton East was very knowledgeable, which it sounds like he was, he step deck cut the block for you. It would be something he may or may not have stated. Step deck cutting a block with Darton MID sleeves is not new. It has been done for a while. If you motor ever comes apart it will be something that needs to be checked to see how many millimeters the cylinder walls protrude above the deck.

You're most likely correct. Yesterday the car didn't explode on me. Ran it on the 1k plus map. Ran my friend's ZL1 that gapped me by bus lengths. Ran the car few times back to back. No issues. No overheating. No throttles of any sort. Car was running on 31 psi pounds and nothing happened except that I learned 10 speeds are bada$$.

Everything was good to go.

Wow. Blackbox tuning has a plug and play solution for the emtron kv16 I believe. Cost is really compared to a motec or starting from scratch with a haltech nexus unit

Juan over at Bardabe Performance is certified with EmTron and has already paved a way for the car/platform.

I'm getting in more seat time before going full retard on it. There are a few things after running the car against other, more up to date vehicles, of what I would like in this future iteration.

Rom tuning is not the way. That's my two cents on it.

You have Uprev. You can't do boost by gear, traction control tuning, etc. This is where Ecutek is much better. It can be used as an interm until a standalone can be installed.

I'm not on "market" UpRev.

I'm honestly not sure exactly what method they used, I didn't build the car at all I was just the one tuning it. Had to make changes to the fuel system because the one designed by the previous guy didn't have enough flow for E85. Engine seemed to be holding well until we got into the higher boost levels I saw some coolant pressure spikes on the logger, so we will see how long it keeps it together for.

I have EMtron for the Z/G works really well, once we go that route the car will have a custom traction control strategy coded by me, and i'll be able to get rid of a ton of "work around" i had to do to make the stock ecu happy with this setup.

unfortunately not for his case, his car is a 2008 and i could not get race rom working on his car without swapping out a newer ecu, which we would have been better off putting that money and effort into getting the EMTron in the car. Plus, it was a good way to show that even though UpRev is behind on the motorsport features their software can still make 4 digit power numbers.

I am sure you spun all over the place. 700-800whp is about all you can control with your right foot. Go above that and the spin fest will ensue.

Not really. Tried from a 40 and a 60 roll. Had traction. Car hooked.
