If you have access to e85 nearby, I would add the necessary parts and get a custom tune. I believe works recommends injectors, fuel pump with the flex fuel kit. That's the route I took and couldn't be happier. The other option I was toying with was headers with a custom tune, but I found the gains with e85 to be similar with headers and 91. The torque dip is still there in the dyno but I honestly don't feel it. And when I go to get it smogged, its much easier to remove or hide the flex fuel kit than headers. My other car just failed smog on the visual check b/c of headers and it had passed in previous years.
