And my exhaust is full stainless?....

All I have is a Vortech kit and Perrin non res headerback. Keep that in mind as well as the VE/Altitude chart you see as I post new dyno results hopefully by end of next week....:happy0180:

I bet you I'm happy with 250 though. 100 more than stock. Mmmm

I have no doubts you'll break 300whp, easy, on e85
Like I said, if I stopped right here at 255, I'd be fine
From here, its all icing and champagne!

There just arent any ecutek shops by me doing 86 work...or I'd be looking at that alongside adding more boost!

I just reinstalled my blower today. With a different pulley. Trying to relocate my oil cooler once done I have to wait till 4/20 to get retuned. Can't wait to see how the new blower is.

4/20 is a good day...

Found this interesting piece....

Pretty much the same concept as a wastegate
Might be worth a shot with a small pulley

Top speed on e85 (NA) for me on a warmer day is 151 mph so far. It pulls better 100mph+ when its warmer than cooler out. Probably the ethanol content level.

Added a blue rubber gasketed waterpoof relay to my oil cooler fan, thought I'd share the parts:

the diode before the relay lets me put a lil toggle switch in the cabin if I wanna run the fan non stop independent of what the rad fans are doing. great for track days.

this way I am not drawing power thru the factory wires.
Will update with under hood pics soon

HELLA H41410081 Weatherproof 20/40 Amp SPDT 280 Footprint Mini Relay with Bracket
HELLA H84708001 280 Weatherproof Relay Connector with 12" Leads

@2forme, here ya go, peak TQ on a dyno chart isnt telling about the entire driving experience

watch in HD for best experience on youtube

Read This first
and note that scenery, canyon walls, dropoff, AZ is very pretty this time of year

As promised, here is both in car video, and a review by someone else, granted it is on 91 at about 2000+ feet- I am not a good video editor, this was shot by my droid cell phone attached to my very dirty windshield, after driving thru the desert for over a hundred+ miles to meet these guys.

At about 4:00 into it I switch places with another member Yruyur who test drives my car, you get his 1st unbiased impressions, driving along side my wife, so its with 2 people in the car. He makes a great test driver as he owns a Visconti tuned e85, drove the P&L Turbo too, which I know has more TQ than mine, I drove it too, and will have a separate thread for my review with that member, @Supermassive.

I had *JUST* installed my coilovers and this was before Ground Control sent me the right rear coils for my car's new power levels so he didn't get to drive it with the suspension how it is today, which is much better. I've since changed tires too and dialed in my pressures.

then you get some 3rd party input from my wife
at 8 minutes, he comments on the sound of my BOV, and again at 12:55

maybe @Yruyur can comment on the freeway pulls I did that the phone did not capture, and the highway non canyon driving he did

Camera phone quality will have to suffice this time, next time it will be the new go pro. ENJOY! Again, Big Word up to @PERRIN, @Brian@Vortech and @GC_Adam
