Ah gotcha. Wasn't immediately clear.

Oh wow, just viewed the post as it stands now. Interdasting.

Hmm guess mods allowed him back on lol

On the shop Coyote (11-14 Mustang GT) 17-18whp was gained with E85 and it is worth about 2mph in trap speed.

Waste of time is all relative, the Stillen intakes I tried out on the car actually lost power without a tune (and not due to the fueling -- VVEL mapping had to be redone completely), and after retuning we got minor gains. The gains from retuning on different fuel was greater than the intakes by a large margin. It wasn't some great effort, the car spent an hour on the dyno and I took a break from the normal daily routine to relax.

And the car is N/A, you're peeling onions to make power N/A. People are paying me to squeeze 5hp out of certain mods lol.

On the other hand, tuning isn't just a business. It's something I enjoy doing and something that's been a passion of mine for over a decade. I enjoy changing parts around and seeing the effects on the motor and tune. Sometimes figuring out how a new ECU works (the magic in the background no one really ever thinks about) is downright frustrating and sometimes it's simple -- but in either situation it's rewarding when I do figure it out. Some people enjoy under water basket weaving, I enjoy tuning, lol.

I'll let you tune/play with my car sometime. I'm considering getting E85 for my Sprintex 210 kit and next year maybe upgrading to the 335 Sprintex or Edelbrock (selling 210 kit). Jay said a larger throttle body is the way to go on positive displacement so perhaps you guys can figure out the Toyota tundra throttle body on the BRZ/FR-S so we can have a fatty intake running. ;) Jay also mentioned that there's no point in going from a 2.5" exhaust to a 3" exhaust with the PD supercharger.

Once the weather cools off and it starts raining I'll have more time to play.

Mid September I'll be testing out the Edelbrock kit. We have it coming with the standard pulley, the 3.0 and the 2.75.

Yes my car is still getting a turbo kit built for it, I have 3 intercooler cores and tons of manifold piping already waiting to get fabbed, because turbo > *, lol. But I like to tinker too much to just do one thing and leave the car alone. So what that spells for someone local, is a really good deal on an Edelbrock kit when I'm done tinkering, lol.
