And with increased cylinder pressure rod bearings and ion nitriding the crank are two things that are very worthwhile.

No one is complaining about the 10:0 compression ratio with forced induction? That only works under the best possible conditions, or with direct injection. Imagine what a tank of old fuel and a really hot day can do?

Of course the answer is " Its only running 5 psi".

Charge air temperature looks like an issue as well with that tiny water to air intercooler. Maybe with some meth injection it'll be under control.

Looks like a fun car though...
