His car has aftermarket cooling (coolant AND oil), and runs on E85. The stock car is undercooled from the factory for HARD driving.

We've already gone through two 100% stock engines with zero driving error, whereas Robi's car has been withstanding substantial abuse, even with the supercharger (and me driving). Testament to how well the setup works.

We're working on some solutions too; we're done with stock systems.
