    Coil carrier set up?

    Coil carrier, just a little oil for lube and no nitrogen. If you put oil in it you will have some damping from the open piston and if you put nitrogen in it you will have some spring rate from the pressure.

    Maybe the Allen head is a cap screw for the threads?

    Swapping P/S pulley

    Hey all, I’ve never removed the pulley from a Howe P/S pump. Any tips/tool recommendations? Also, moving to an 8 rib system and the kit came with a small p/s pulley to clear the idler… dropping from 6 5/8” to 5 1/4” any concerns on over spinning the pump?

    Holley ECU

    Harness definitely not well suited to a sand car mounting, but I cot it to fit . i ended up using the I/o more than I thought 1) I didn’t want the fans to turn on with ignition so I used I/o to stagger the fans by 5 deg and leave them off until engine was at 800rpm. 2) datalog switch 3)...

    Single Turbo V8 Sandrails - a rarity? a good idea? fast is fast right?

    I’m also entertained by the concern about 1 big turbo vs. 2 smaller ones. I mean, it’s just math. 4 cyl feeding 1 properly sized turbo… or 8 cyl feeding a 2x bigger turbo is the same thing. LOL. Yes, it takes more pressure and flow to move the bigger turbo, but you have more pressure and flow...

    Flex Fuel Sensor - running 91 and adding pump e85

    Holley with a flex sensor is super easy. Adjusts timing and injector pulse on the fly. Haven’t done it yet on my car but have done the homework. Need enough pump and injector to manage the range.

    Air to air Intercooler - fans or no fans?

    1% horsepower loss per 10deg increase in IAT… or 1% gain for every 10deg IAT reduced… make it cold

    Air to air Intercooler - fans or no fans?

    I have a 16x6x3 intercooler (supercharged) that gets some air pulled through it by the radiator. Without fans it can’t keep up, 120+ IAT. With fans <95 IAT.

    Slop in Micro Stub? Torque?

    Since it is loose, bearings will be chewed up. New bearings and 3/4” breaker bar with a jack handle and your biggest buddy.

    Can Grok tune an engine?

    Asking ChatGPt now. I think it’s a little tone def. “Your table gives it 16°, which is extremely retarded for that load and RPM.”

    Can Grok tune an engine?

    Here’s my actual table. Slightly more conservative than yours I think. I’m looking to get more pull in the midrange… which is what I asked Grok to do :) I’m just using different units than you, psi vs. kpa

    Can Grok tune an engine?

    Yeah, seems like 32deg is a bit aggressive. But maybe my 24.5 isn’t quite aggressive enough.

    It’s usually the obvious answer

    I found an ignition short to chassis on my old VW rail with something more sensitive than my finger…. 🍆
