Question

I also realized when I was driving spiritedly(or tracking) I was never in the low rpms. That is what you buy a FI kit for right? To enjoy driving spiritedly more?

Don't get me wrong, I was pretty happy and excited to have any kind of FI on the car at all. After a few months the novelty of the "low end torque" wore off completely and I was stuck with a kit that heat soaked and performed inadequately on the circuits we have out here.

One moment stands out to me where I was behind a stock BRZ coming onto the front straight and our acceleration down the front straight was almost identical... I wasn't datalogging but I am sure the ecu was pulling timing due to heat/knock. I expected to pass the BRZ at least by the end of the straight but couldn't. I never got to try it with e85 and in some ways I do wish I did. I probably would have enjoyed it more and maybe, just maybe I would have left it on the car.

Anyways, if you just like putting around town and you don't do much "sports" driving, then the twin screw is nice.
Were you running a 210 non-intercooled?
