Thanks for the suggestion. I've heard the trans & engine is a ticking time bomb at 300whp+, though, does e85 really help with the reliability that much?

Has there been any reliability problems with this on the stock engine? I'm really just looking for some more low-mid range torque where I don't have to worry about *any* reliability issues (mostly worried about blown engine/trans). I'm fine with running the ~260 whp even. I'm just not sold this thing will last 100k+ miles - especially since I have a '13 motor, and I've heard lots of nightmares about spun bearings/thrown rods (both N/A and F/I).
