There is nothing else out there that is as cheap to maintain and as fun as the twins at this point however. So unless something comes out soon, I think i'm sticking with my BRZ, and therefore might look into the E85 scene.

Yeah, I think e85 with this blower is about as fast as this car has any business being. It can hold up to about 350 before you need a built motor, and transmissions start to get sketchy in that range as well.

If I'm being honest, I'm sort of over the idea of aftermarket FI. Getting this kit up and running correctly was such a headache. It was fun and I don't regret it and I love my car, but it was close to 6 months before all the kinks were worked out. I'm eyeing c6 z06s now
