The data is for 91/E55 UEL vs E85 Ace. Where are you getting the data for pump gas with Ace?

I think the comments against the Ace are always around cost versus reward and possibly considering if these case studies or anecdotal evidence actually approximates reality across all options. Is the Ace necessary? Is there enough difference in 10hp or whatever to justify two to three times the price? Do you even know what UEL header was used for this test? Was it catted or not?
Well, there's only two UELs sold on the CSG website. This is one of the two.

Is the Ace necessary? Only if you want maximum efficiency.

Lets clarify. It's actually 35whp more, with 3 psi less boost observed. C30hbp/Ace vs C38hbp/UEL.

Or, the C30 on std pulley makes ~10whp more, with 5.5psi less boost observed on C30 sbp/Ace vs C38 hbp/UEL.

That's pretty damn substantial!

In the end, the conclusion is always the same: The Ace delivers the best results at the highest price. Some folks don't want to spend that price, or prefer the UEL sound. To each their own!
