This is my favorite thing about all this e85. Each gear pulls *so* well. Before the car started to feel sluggish after 3rd gear. Now it pulls well up to 100 so easily - I have a few twisty roads over here and in between a few higher speed corners I like to floor it and see how fast it'll get up to. Pre-tune it got up to maybe 85-90 one 1 particular corner, the other day it got up to 100 sooo easily and was still pulling well and I had to let off because I didn't want to lose my license :P

Not to mention, passing power on highway is much improved. 5th feels great and I rarely downshift to 4th anymore unless trying to get around an a**hole or really want to push it.

Next mod I'm planning is header + catback. But for now I'll just be tracking it & probably get the custom tow hook so I can tow some e85 to the local tracks and have some *real* testing
