Cool vid Dave, ya I have Sarcoidosis which is an Autoimmune disease. Its prety benign except if it gets in my lungs it can kill me and if it gets in my eyes it can blind me. Oh and the only medical treat is cortisonel steroids. Woohoo lol, It can go theough flare ups as well. When I was first diagnosed it came out on my face. Createas granular bumps. Fun stuff! Learned to to live with it and I do think diet and stress can effect it as well.
Thanks, man. Gosh... I am very sorry to hear that. I'm glad that you've learned to live with it. Stress is such a killer. It's very unfortunate how difficult life can be at times for a lot of us.

Damn Dave that's some serious transformation your body went through in such a short amount of time. Mind blowing.
Glad you have the presence of mind to navigate through the tough times. Looking forward to new videos of whatever you want to share.

Wow! That's incredible that you overcame terminal leukemia. I'm so happy for you. Thank you for the words of encouragement, it means a lot!

Yeah, it's pretty amazing how much the body can tolerate.

Interesting I have a number of the same mods as yours, Rad, intercooler,rmm, thermal exhaust, intake . Have you data logged any charge temps on the intercooler with the MRX? Based on other peoples observations the Mountune intercooler could not hang with upgraded Turbo’s except it seemed like everyone that had that issue was still on a stock radiator.

Haha yeah it's definitely my favorite exhaust for the FiST.

While I was doing logs for the tune, the intercooler seemed to be keeping up fine, and zero engine temps issues. Charge temps increased about the same as the did with my Cobb intercooler when I was running the gt2560r. I'm getting the car on a dyno next Thursday. I'm interested in seeing the results.

Wow this is interesting as it flies in the face of older comments except I have to believe that having the radiator as well helps. As it keeps overall temps down quite possibly in the engine and engine bay making it easier for the intercooler to do its job.
This is a theory mind you.

Here's the dyno graph in case anyone wanted to see it.

I’m running the MRX with Mountune’s forged short block and Stratified 4 port aux fuel. If I can I’ll post results from CPE’s dyno after tuning. I have become a big proponent of aux fueling for clean valves but also for fueling after the oem injectors die out. I know the curve continues up with Strat’s aux system.
