Spark plugs wise I'm running NGK Iridium 7's fine so far at 450awhp. Very much doubt I'll need to go to 8's, ever.

As for my catch can I've chosen the drain back to sump option. Any moisture in the oil that is returned to the sump will evaporate away with the heat of the oil.

I've chosen this option as it's not unheard of for catch tanks to fill with good oil on hard launches and hard cornering. That's oil that never sees the engine again with a non return can. For obvious reasons you can't do that too often.

8's will be more hassle than they are worth and you simply don't need them. 7's will be perfect and you could even use a set of fresh 6's.

But you don't need 8's. Did I say you don't need 8's? If I didn't, you don't need 8's

+1 DO NOT NEED 8's Take the time for oil to warm up to operating temp before driving and you should have no water in the system .

Car was retuned with Okada coil and HKS racing plug(Mao has sent the order, and HKS replied my email saying it's suitable for e85. so I decide to give heat range 8 a shot).

With a hot tmic (heat soak) car made 410whp at 1.4 bar aiming 11.4-11.6 afr, with zero knock court. Water spray was disabled since bonnet was opened.

The new coil seems made the mid range better on light to mid throttle, and no more misfiring. I will keep an eye on spark plug fouling.
