IMO turbo is too risky, Supercharger is also risky and pricy and there is only so much this motors can take. How much of a risk is it to run E85? I do hear many guys are happy with the performance from E85.How much power would I really gain and is it worth the risk? I am not looking for huge numbers, just want to get rid of the dip and a little more torque would be nice. Here is what I have done to the car so far: Borla exhaust, drop in K&N air filter, coilovers, wheels. I understand headers would help a lot but since I am already running an exhaust it might be too loud for my taste. If I sell it, I would lose my ass since I put a lot of money down and already invested on wheels and coilovers, I tried that route and I was offered $20k when I paid $27k.. which included exhaust and leather. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please no "smart ass" comments from the "kids" in the forum would also be nice. Thank you.
Im running about the same setup as you but have an oft an running there e85 tune an absolutely love the power gains takes out most of the torque dip ive ran e85 for about 10k now with no problems
