    E85 is top of the list. Like said cooling will be a issue. I can only imagine how much heat will be generated.

    The turbos i thank will need to be addressed. Running the amount of boost i will need. And for that ling of a time. The boost will be introducing lots of heat into the induction.

    I figure i will be running a water to air intercooler. What about turbos? Should i run a oil/water cooled turbo setup?

    @BIG CAT Im finding data on A-A verses meth. And meth is the clear winner. Is it a better advantage over W-A?

    Yes it's better in most area's . Its draw back is it requires more maintenance than a gas setup and needs a very serious fuel system.

    I believe big cat is saying run methanol as a fuel, not meth injection as a cooling medium.

    Just a thought on internals, but for the length of high rpm I'd think solid roller would be benificial over hydraulic. E85 or methanol definately, and even if you added meth injection I wouldn't see how an air-water intercooler with a very large ice/water box and a big pump could hurt anything

    That brings up another thing. Rotating mass..... How much can i cut back on that yet maintain strength. When i look at all the off the shelf forged cranks and billet rods. Im wondering how much i can have the crank lighten and maintain strength?

    Man that pendulum cut crank that was on the board a while back would have been perfect.

    Im looking for one. I know scat sells them. But not finding them on the site. Might need to get on a real computer.

    I just got an ohiocrankshaft forged crank. I know they said they had a new lighter crank available, but not for lt1, maybe just big blocks? Maybe they'd build one for an lt1 if enough money was thrown at it but idk how much it would take. Haha
