    This thing has 183k miles on it, and is still going strong.

    It took a 2.7 pulley on e85 before pressure finally started to drop. Pressure was still holding steady with a 3.0.

    Lol, I was looking for a little more technical answer. You know something like "he's running super large injectors and E85, so at full tilt the pulse width is so long that the pump pressure drops because pump cannot flow higher volume."

    am I close?

    His comments were a joke and sarcastic when he said, "looks fine."

    Just look at my avatar, that should mean something lol.


    And when the topics arent a serious question or concern for anything, sarcasm will be used alot.

    Gotcha, I've seen you answer technical questions so that threw me. That and I haven't gotten to know anybody very well yet.
