Just curious how reliable my car is with this setup. I would much like old schoolers to respond, especially ones who have blown their cobalts up.

hardware:

42#s injectors
2.8 pulley
Cobra H/E
Full exhaust + header
Methanol injection

specs:
11.8-12.0 AFR
25 degrees of timing WOT
89% IDC @ 7000 RPM
Custom Shutoff if EGTs hit 1500+ degrees

 

60's
Injectors can get a bit pissy if you put them over 80% IDC too often.

If you don't bag on the car, then there isn't too much of a problem, though.


Besides that... as long as your timing isn't too radical, you shouldn't have any problems with popping a piston.

 

I dont understand how it can be too radical when the computer uses KR to reduce it. I beat on the car quite a bit. Ive been considering 60s however i dont want to do that headache just yet.

thx for the response

 

The car may reduce timing when it sees knock... but there lies a deadly problem... it must knock first. It only takes one time, in the wrong situations to cause a fatal detonation.
