though, living in an area where it gets over 100F easily (and 120F+ in the middle of summer) doesn't really help lol. not to mention that we only get 91 here... I am so jealous of everyone else who can get 93

This is right an no one considers the area under the curve just that peak number at 7k rpm. I bet this things feels faster and probably is more street-able than an NA e85 setup. I had that. Now I'm on an ESC. Yeah peak numbers are not impressive around 225whp but a tremendous amount of midrange torque. Its V6 like. I make 200 whp now at 5.5k rpm instead of 7k. Boost drops and its pretty flat from there.
