If a hopped up engine like Brian's can survive with oil mixed in the

fuel,

at least we know that this
really works.  Pragmatism at its best.  Also scientific method.

Pragmatism seems to go a long way (and is a good friend of the underdog) in

repeatedly on pump gasoline, store-bought NGK BUR9EQ spark plugs (both
leadings and trailings), with a factory intercooler core converted to an
air-to-water heat exchanger, factory ignitors and coils, non-race spark plug
wires, and a turbocharger compressor that's not the size of a medicine ball.
I've run into so many people who've said "that can't be done" regarding all
sorts of aspects of those combinations, yet they're clearly proven wrong by
actually trying them out and putting them into real-life work.  Bottom line
is is these engines are phenomenal and will produce a tremendous amount of
power for their weight and components needed.

Were you able to weld on that stock intercooler Brian. Got any pictures of
the converted intercooler? I assume you are using ice water. What turbo setup 
are you using? Boost for 500 HP? What is the intake manifold temperature?
What is the EGT going into the turbo?
