We have been going super slow with it, very slowly bumping it up. I am not pushing it yet, it's not even 30psi yet, which is pretty normal for E85.
The car should continue to run well after another 2-3psi. I was revving it out to 8800 last fall, so I have dropped that down a lot for all the testing (8000) now just revving it out to where I want it.
I am not really trying to "push" it, just seeing what it takes to crack 600whp. The tuning, stepping up has occurred over weeks of logging/testing... if shit happens it happens. No sense in having this car built like this to not make power, if I am afraid to break it I mind as well sell it and buy something I am comfortable with. I am taking the necessary precautions.
Just for reference...the motor and head from the manufacturer are good to 10,000 rpms and like 800whp+...so its overbuilt. Like I said, if it fails, it fails and part of the mod game.
