Sorry to hear your selling Jason. Sounds like a heck of a lot tune time and money invested there. By memory, I dont believe the system has a charge air intercooler and uses various ethanol/methanol injection schemes for detonation control (is that correct?). Just wondering what level of boost the control system prescribes for the various fuels and power levels. Seems that 10:1 is a pretty steep static CR compared to what seems to be the norm in boosted engines but then again it would only require very modest levels of boost to achieve the low end of HP range. Is it possible to be North of 1000whp with E100 and what level of boost is required? Is that ~>1.5 atm of boost?
Best,
