He's running a blow through carb. The only thing that can be done is to add a sensor to the storage tank so that when the level is low it gives him a warning light.

He isn't fuel injected? Haha oh gotcha... Ok well I got no solution for you then, its been a while since I tuned a carb. I will leave it to you guys then. If you need HP tuners ever let me know I got the software on my laptop.

I only blew up one piston this time, I said two pistons because I blew up another one last year.

You know what I just realized? Last time when I blew up a piston, another one got damaged. Just a few nicks on the top. Everyone said just file it down and run it, it will be fine. Well that was the one that blew this time. I think I'll be fine running the same pistons with an intercooler, that one just blew this time because it was already damaged. If I had replaced it too, I doubt it would have blown. 4032 it is.

File what down, the piston? Do you have any pictures of what the original damage looked like?

Those blemishes are right on the edge, and it looks like that's right where it broke. Gave the piston a starting point to crack.

I have a Mr Freeze system that I installed on the Cobra years ago but never tuned for. If you want to give it a try on the Vette you're more than welcome to it.

Here's a link to what it is http://www.andersonfordmotorsport.co...emart&Itemid=1

I also have 3 one gallon bottles of Snow Performance Boost Juice http://www.snowperformance.net/product.php?pk=3.

It's over at GTR for sale but if you want it let me know and I'll go pick it up.
I'd like meth too, but diesel kits arent cheap, but windshield wiper fluid works very well as juice for it

They aren't just for diesels anymore. Meth/water injection is great on forced induction motors. The only issue is like what cobra says... You don't want to run out. But there are built in gauges and such if you want them.

When did i say they were? I said the diesel kits are more expensive than the gas kits so i'll have to hold off getting one for my diesel, run out on a diesel and its not too big a deal.

The don't use that chemical in windshield washer fluid in CA anymore, I'm pretty sure. And I'm not doing that. I'm going to intercool.
