It is more expensive to replace an engine than to nut up and run the good stuff when needed.

Agreed! I will not be at full boost at the track and will keep a barrel of e90 on hand for those special occasions on long fast tracks.

Lucky!!! It is a good thing it is cheap for you as you will burn through it like burning dollar bills. I got as low as 2.5 mpg and never more than 4. You may be closer to 4 as Sebring is a long track and so you aren't shifting constantly as you would be on track that is mile to 2.5 miles long.

Sounds like you wasn't prepared for that. High fuel pressure, big injectors, WFO. Yea.........you're going to burn some corn.

Hey Spooler! You went closed deck this time around didn't you? Saw a message from Mike Mixon where he said, "I haven’t heard of a single issue. There are hundreds of the closed decks out there. Several running high boost applications"

This makes me a hell of a lot happier from what I've heard. I'm still paranoid AF about the head gasket blowing. Especially after what you went through so curious if y'all have heard the same. I still thought that was an unsolved mystery.

No, I went Darton MID sleeves with a good bit of tricks to improve headgasket sealing/clamping force. Talk with Seb, he can tell you what he thinks. I am not here to bad mouth anyone but that statement is false. A closed deck block will not fix the problem. You have to do more.

By the way, There are only 3- SOHO cars that have not blown headgaskets and mine. My car and the SOHO cars need more time but should be just fine. All of the other high HP cars have all popped headgaskets. SOHO and Mazworx have done their own thang for correcting the problem.

You will be waiting for a while. Since COVID19 and working from home, driving is very limited right now for me. Spend your money and take your chances.

I don't know. I can say that most folks that have popped headgaskets don't talk about it. I have been getting the back end stories about their issues. I have been up front with everyone. Nobody likes to admit they have had issues. It is not cheap to go back and fix it. I just do me and don't worry so much about the rest of it.
