It's well worth doing the e85 tune as your second tune( keeping the gas tune stage one in the first file spot). I don't want give out numbers, but we were shocked at the results on e85 having done a good deal of Mazda mx5 work on e85 normal atmo cars. Much higher gains on the boxer!

I know Subaru WRX /STi motors love the stuff and you can boost the hell out of them because of the properties associated with e85,but I was surprised the n/a motors took to it. Do you think my mods (intake, downpipe and axle back) will significantly effect what you're seeing number wise? I can't wait to do this, I hope the Army school I am in next month won't interfere with the group buy day.

My back-up plan is to head to the Lion & Rose in Alamo Heights with some of my Miata-friends to catch the race there on Sunday. I've got word that they will be showing the race & have been hosting F1 watching parties all season... I wanted to extend the invite to my new FRS/BRZ family to roll out Sunday & catch it together with a few drinks... Let me know if any of you guys decide to roll...

I don't even know, man... I've just been google-ing placed that do it... so I could get an estimate. I kinda like to do things myself, specially when I found out the bottle of opticoat is only about $60... but this is a professional's job... and I'd like someone to do it... let me know how it looks!

Just got to nortpark Toyota to have my fiveaxis spoiler installed and saw someone driving off with a whiteout, then a manual ehitout on display as well as an AT hot lava on display....looks like they aren't flying off the shelf anymore.

Edit.
Just found a firestorm out back lol.

Those $60 bottles are not the professional versions but the consumer version.
