No I've been here forever I just never have really been active except in the BS thread in the dungeon. I just recently got serious about dialing in my setup.

Non TVS concern... Anyone ever replace their steering rack? I think that's what's causing the clunking

Its fuel. It just like tuning for any other fuel. Literally no different. The mix and nozzle size does not matter in the "difficulty to tune", you just adjust accordingly. Doesn't matter if it goes in the tank or injects, if its combustible it will burn and be tuned for just like any other fuel you could run.

We ran 100% meth through a 7gph nozzle on Blue's car and something was not keeping up in his IC system because we were seeing IAT2's in the 180's on an 80* day. Hell I never even saw those temps on my car on the same 2.6" setup with just a dual pass with no injection of any kind, even with reversed IC pump wiring. We switched his back to the 14gph 50/50 or 70/30, whatever he was running to keep the temps at bay and they dropped back into the 140's.

He's done playing around now though. Got some new ideas for low IAT's in his car since its been a battle. I blame Canada! lol

Don't be discouraged. If you don't have a mechanical failure, there is nothing you can do on a TVS to bend/break a stock rod short of nitrous.

I guess your hydrolock wasn't technically a mechanical failure

Or fuel thinned the oil out and seized a bearing. I don't really remember what happened to yours or how. Maybe timing related? Lol it has been a while.

The sleeve also busted so that's why I say it did. Just all the signs point to it.

Well no mechanical failures that I am aware of but the car does have 86k on it and 6k of that has been on my TVS setup with a shitty tune, that's why I worry
