    • Boost comes on around 2800 so much nicer than 4500

      Needs more E85 and 20psi though it's going to pull like a freight train on 20lbs and the best part is that it can take it all day long on 20lbs!

      I need to get started on the BPT project next after I get this car squared away. I think the ghost needs to go on a diet 2020lbs is a little too heavy to compete with those BP boys.....better believe she won't flinch at em'!!!

            Good to hear. I know you've fought that thing leaking for a while. Glad she's dry

            • Ghost is well known for a eerie mist/fog that follows it throughout the night air. If you try catching Ghost, be ye warned, the residue doesn't just wash off. Tweak still has spots from that evening adventure more than a year ago. :p

                  • Well..the coolant system is pressurized and I think I might have popped the head gasket. Time to tear it down.

                    I've got some luck!

                      • Nooooooooo not me !! it was 11lbs the first run then we pulled over and turned up the boost controller and it was at 15psi when the coolant vacuum cap on the intake manifold blew off so I shut her down and coasted into the parking lot to fix it. And when I started it back up is when I noticed it was idling rough and white smoke/steam was coming out. And coolant leaking from the exhaust manifold.

                        I left work for 10 min and got a chance to pull my plugs..looks like I'm taking the head off tonight after work!

                        Plugs 4-3-2-1 (left to right) 4 and 1 have coolant on them.

                          • The builder probably used a crappy head gasket is my guess

                            The engine has arp head main and rod bolts.

                            • Some of the auto parts stores gaskets sets (felpro ) don't have the original type mls (multi layer steel) gaskets. I know Mike had that problem and had to order his proper gasket from somewhere?
