velocityxr6t Member 122 Member For: 16y 10d Gender: Male Posted 24/03/16 05:06 AM Share Posted 24/03/16 05:06 AM E85? If so I think the motor will live. Seeing that it's at 19psi I'm guessing its on 98. Good luck. Unless you dont use that torque... ever.... the gearbox is in a dead man walking situation.

I will let you know if anything goes bang though and be sure to update everyone when the box has had enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box stock T. Member 1,384 Member For: 9y 7m 16d Posted 22/05/16 12:33 AM Share Posted 22/05/16 12:33 AM Haven't heard from isaacxr6t for a while maybe he's on the side of the road looking in bushes to find where his conrod was thrown to. Very brave numbers on a BA stock bottom end. Risk taker. I like it.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
