Dumped 3 gallons of 100 octane in today to see if I could get it to stop knocking... It appears to have worked. There's no way in hell that I'm going to run $7.39 a gallon race fuel long term, so I plan to do an intercooler this weekend. I'm sure the IAT's are just stupid hot at full boost, and our premium (91 at this altitude) just isn't friendly at those temps with a 1.9 timing curve even with the octane plug pulled thus retarding timing.
I also have a fuel pump and some injectors to throw in, as well as a boost gauge. At that point I should have a decent little daily driver, and once my trailer hitch comes in, It'll double as a toy hauler for the Kart too!
I traded some fab work for a small trailer a few weeks ago. I need to modify it a bit to make it better suited to haul the kart, paint it, then get it titled and registered. I'm also going to lower it, and since it's 4x100, I'll toss on a pair of 7 spoke Escort GT wheels to finish it off. Should be pretty neat.
