500+ bhp Fiesta ST
After Santa pod being a massive flop as my car tried to run unlimited boost half way up the strip and causing the head to lift, I have now got it back on the road after a few modifications,
We machined the head and block to take m12 12.9 bolts rather then the arp stud and nut kit, and machines the spark plugs out to take a wider variety of plugs. Think the ones I've got now are the same ones that the 1000bhp supra had!
Right now it went out to be live mapped by lee at devil developments and he called me up at 23:00 last night to tell me my car is sitting at 2 bar on a gtx3076 with 16 degree's ignition! Which to be fair is a fucking lot lol! It goes on the dyno later on today so I will pOst up its results, what's peoples thoughts it's going to make? It made 490 at 1.8 bar!

I think you're blaming the car for lifting the head and not lifting your right foot earlier down the strip 
But glad it's sorted, you didn't look like a happy bunny that day. Good result

Well technically it is my fault, as my waste gate pipe blew off and caused a big boost spike! Lol, my right foot only helped it along a bit! Pulled like a train though lol!
To be honest I was more annoyed that me and lee spent about a week putting it back together after the oil pump shattered, and pulling 20 hour days and something as stupid as not putting a cable tie on the hose fucked it all up!
But yer I'm well happy with the result, going to need to get a 4 bar map sensor if I want any more out of it! Depends what comes along now lol! But want to try and run some decent 12's at pod!

Ah no bother, these things are sent to try us. You'd get bored of it otherwise
Speaking of which, Jamie Going was torquing the head back down for you. Did it run at that point at all?

Im getting bored of emptying my bank account each time it breaks lol. However, technically there isnt anything that should go any time soon now as everything that can be ungraded has been. So fingers crossed
Well the idea was to see if we would get away with re torquing the head down, but didnt work, when the head got taken off the gasket was blown across all cylinders lol.
