Absolutely I couldn't agree more. In both charts it moved the torque band lower and broader, without the V-tec bump that you usually see around 6k rpm. Thanks for helping to prove my point, plus I don't really think of a civic SI or RSX as having a power band... more like a rubber band.
I'm kidding, some Civic Si's are fast, I just haven't found one yet.

That's funny cuz I was going to go find the flow charts for the little TVS's that Eaton makes. People in the SC'd cobalts are easily putting down 300whp with those, and supporting mods.

LOL no problem, it makes me laugh so hard when people get all crazy and emotional about it. Only one thing really matters... Performance! And everyone needs a certain criteria for a certain application. SC'd or TC'd it is going to be fun as hell with over 300whp in the automotive version of a track shoe. So... when I meet you at the track we can make a pass, or do our fastest lap and :happy0180: with no hard feelings dude.

Preference to run E85.

E85 only if tuning can support that. The engine should easily be able to support ethanol due to the port injection. It's super easy to swap those, as opposed to a DI injector. I would think that people could get 50whp easy from bolt (ons, intake, header, exhaust and a tune) because DI responds quite well to tuning, in my experience with my car anyway.
