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. 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.
I like how you think wheels and coils are "investments" lol.

A tune with e85 and headers will fix the torque dip. But keep in mind you have a brand new warranty. It's very easy to blame a drivetrain failure on added power and tune.
