This is true, however the aforementioned 760 WHP on E85 run was in Cali around sea level. The only time we've had the car on a dyno up here at elevation was on pump gas when it made 610 WHP running...

That would not surprise me at all. We have not collected any data here personally, though being in Utah our DA is so trash that it'll look bad regardless.

However, I do have some data from the...

I fear you are probably right. Where would you go for diagnosis next other than a leak down test and scoping the cylinders to see cylinder wall conditions?

Yeah, that's a good idea! I was going to triple check the PCV hose routing when we go to replace that PCV valve. I am afraid to admit you're probably correct about the rings assessment.

I learned this the hard way today when changing my battery. Seems like it's still holding on fine without the clips; any danger to this, or should I be fine?

I've heard good things about this stuff. I believe it is a petroleum based fluid. The only reason I'm not using it is cost and availability.

Yeah, if I were going to run a synthetic I'd likely run Redline D4. I'm just skeptical about any synthetic fluid because of what TX Drivetrain Performance alleges.

TR6060 Transmission Fluid

I know this is a hotly discussed topic. I need to do a transmission fluid change on my 2018 ZLE with a TR6060. After some research, it looks as though some Tremec rebuilders (such as TX...

That seems about right for a two-piece forged set from HRE. Mine are Monobloks, so they're a good bit cheaper.

This makes an insane amount of sense... no internal/external leaking here, but I've noticed that I need to fill both the pressurized and expansion tank at least once per year. I was wondering why.
