Sorry guys it's been a while since my last post. Work has been taking up most of my spare time. Can't wait to retire in a few years so all my spare time can go into finish building the Camaro.

I ran across this a while back and wanted to share it.

What's weird is every single one of these modification's I did to my Talon engine back in 2014 and added a few others that weren't mentioned.

My newest data I will be logging is combustion pressure sensors. This is extremely expensive but will give me new data I need.

This Summer all my work has been focus on combustion flame speed at WOT using GEM fuel (Gasoline/Ethanol/Methanol) with Nitrous while running Lean-Burn. The Nitrous is just a small amount only 300PPH. The nitrous increases flame speed so I can run the initial timing closer to TDC. The GEM fuel has amazing anti knock characteristics but a very poor slow flame speed. It has a faster flame speed then E98 Ethanol but still not as fast as Gasoline. With Nitrous the flame speed is equal to Gasoline with great anti-knock.

Now the kicker is from my data logs and a G meter accelerometer "Dragy" it is .5 seconds faster in the 1/8th mile and the AF runs 2 points leaner using the same amount of fuel. I also conducted test with VP C16 petrol and the results were similar.

Anyway, I apologies for not getting this update sooner.
Thanks for all that follow this crazy thread.
