That's a good suggestion, but unfortunately won't work for me.
Not every track has E85 close by. Last thing I need is to be down on power when racing for the championship because I couldn't drive 30+ minutes to go find gas, or miss the quali and race because I left the track and got stuck in traffic on the highway with no way to exit and turn around. There's plenty of other things that'll break at the track and need fixing when racing, no need to add the complication of a special kind of fuel when you're a 1-man team.

The STS rear mounted turbo is so far the most appealing to me due to it's placement, but I'm not interested in investigating that solution anytime soon. I'll race this engine as is until I see more 86 race cars on track. I'll probably build a second race car with FI and leave this stock for my wife with the intent to run it in a future spec86 series.
2015 will be mainly suspension and tire testing/development. Power will have to wait.
