After a good time spent away, it is time for Megatron to get some nice fluids flowing.

I believe that five quarts of Amsoil 15w-50, three quarts of Amsoil 75w-90 manual transmission and transaxle gear lube, three quarts of Red Line Heavy Shockproof Gear Oil, and one Wix oil filter should do the trick.

No Tom, not yet. I have to pick up my valve cover from getting powder coated tomorrow afternoon. I should have that ROM fired up tomorrow evening or early Tuesday morning at the latest. I changed the oil and thinking about doing the spark plugs since things are open. That knock was pretty strange though in that last run. I am liking how things are progressing so far on 91-octane. I would like to do everything WITHOUT the double pumper in order to do a good comparison with both fuels against the EF4 since I am using the exact same road. If I am not mistaken, we stopped the 91-octane tune at 24PSI and the E85 tune at 32PSI. I also added the fuel injector duty cycle with EVO Scan to see where I am with the single fuel pump.

Oh boy! Talking about a shotgun blast of the obvious and a rookie moment, my friend. For all of these years, I thought it was the windshield wiper fluid reservoir and the one in the back was for the back window. Dang! I wonder how many times I have made that statement not to mention to people that I speak "EVO" to. What is even worse is that no one ever bothered to correct me until now. Dang!   

As for the intake set up, I was looking at this along with a 3-4" reducer.
