And that competitor who bit our style, we're still ~15ft lb up on their E85 tuned results. 4-2-1 secondary length is a major advantage to simply running the first half of our design as a 4-1 with effectively a longer exhaust plugged into that and routed up and over.

It's interesting to note how the other guys' baseline vs E85 with full system make the same power below the rpm range where the dip starts. E85 tunes make power everywhere. It's a curious tuning philosophy where they can deliberately make less power to impress people with their dyno curve ...

Have you guys found an approach that is making progress on the last mini-dip? Slight secondary length change? Or trying to look at it from the intake side?

And the 'regression' issue? @mad_sb took a look at fuel trims here http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30418

Maybe something to do with it?
