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.
