I think the converter is gonna wake it up in a big way!! I more than likely purchased a wet plate too and a pump upgrade.. 200shot is the goal on e85..

Another pic of cooler from underneath. I tried running the lines through the factory cooler. I pulled the fittings out of the factory tank. But the the cooler fell into the tank. Come to find out the fittings sandwich the cooler to the plastic. Not gonna lie felt stupid after that. Lol so I didn't end up running it thru the factory rad cooler, so I put it back together and I just by passed it. I also will tie the cooler fan into the radiator fan and turn it on at 180.

Ya just finished it up today... Huge improvement!! Still need to raise shift points and some more tuning to work out some issues.

I'll get another vid of it tho.. It's way quicker seems to torque steer pretty good too! When do the tie rods start being an issue for you guys..

I have been told not to worry... but i always think the same thing.

Yea it will love the extra RPM now. You'll make plenty of power up there but it will also help make the torque converter a hell of a lot more efficient.

What about driveshafts and other drivetrain parts. Didn't think any of this stuff would be an issue but it kinda did a smokey awd burnout for a bit when I floored it leaving a parking lot I wasn't really expecting that not sure if I hit a small patch of gravel or what but it was loose as all get out. Kinda spooked me because the nitrous is goin in next month and ***** gonna get real..
