Me too. If I had a non-pressurized expansion tank I would buy SOHO's setup and wouldn't think twice.
I could convert mine, I just don't want to.

I like the SOHO catch can combo but I don't like not being able to see the coolant level and I would need to convert to a non-pressurized setup. I am leaning toward getting the Radium catch can setup. Looks like a quality kit.

Radium makes quality products!

I am going to take the motor to Mazworx without the oil pump in hand. Trying to figure out when to make the trip.

Hopefully they ship next week. You still got time regardless.

Yeap, I have my JWT C2 cams in hand. 4 to 6 weeks wait on the custom Cp pistons at 11:1.

I thought you might go 9:1!

Noop, sticking to what I had. I was very happy with off boost response. If I don't have any knock issues or have to reduce the timing due to said knock, I am golden. The new motor just has to hold in the headgasket area, It should.

I know, I just meant if you were happy with the off boost response and everything performance wise. The only issue was the headgasket.

Smart move staying with the high compression motor.

It may be a bad move. LOL We shall see. It takes xxxx amount of cylinder pressure to make xxxx amount of power. It doesn't matter if it is high compression and lower boost or low compression and higher boost.

I was. At 800hp it would get a little un-ruley. I think I am going to stick with 22psi of boost and just go with Ignite Red 114 oct. or Ethanol One 117 oct. I really don't want to turn it up unless I have a better ECU. Motec M150. I will then be able to add some channels to keep an eye on things better via logging. Number one thing is coolant pressure. Other things are intake temps before and after intercooler (CAC), oil pressure, etc. That way we can program the ECU to shut it down before it has major engine damage.

So the head gasket let go?

I still like the idea of having off boost power.
