Might be worth OP sending the FSB in to have that tested to determine if it failed and why.

I'd be more than happy to send the FSB in for testing, especially if it could help others avoid a similar outcome.

If I had to bet money on what caused the failure, I would not have guessed this. In fact, I'd have guessed the opposite as I thought it was far more likely that the lack of methanol and the octane it provides was what caused the issue. Honestly, I don't know what to think at this point.
All I know is that my savings towards a dedicated track car just took a $10K hit (not sure on exact cost yet as labor is still adding up). Plus, since I'm swapping engines I'm having some other work done too like cleaning the carbon build-up, installing a new thermostat and water pump, new SPEC Stage 2+ clutch, and a Quaife LSD. Once it's running again, I'll probably swap the JB4 for a Cobb... all of which uses up my track car savings.
