Which is why I think the RE11's will be a logical step from the Pilots.
Then maybe the Nittos later if I feel the need.

Awesome build! I'm planning with FBM at the moment and hope to make my deposit soon to start the build process. I'm going with the premium kit but can't decide between gtx28 or the gtx30. An e85 station just opened 10 minutes from my house which is great news since I'm limited to california 91 piss. How is the gtx28 for you?

Thank you, I am happy with the car. To answer your question, my preference for most cars is to have a broader power curve and I prefer power to come on sooner than later. So, I much prefer the GTX28 over the 30 or 35. They can peak higher but response is great on the 28. If your only need is a car for a drag setup or you just have to have the most HP, while sacrificing the drivability - then a 30 or 35 might be the way to go. If you prefer to have a more drivable and responsive car then I would go 28.

A 28 on E85 makes for a very fun car. I don't see the need for more if you primarily drive your car on the road with a few track weekends. IMHO. I believe a 28 fits 80% of peoples needs on the FT86. A 30 and most certainly a 35 would fit a more specialized build more suited to straight line driving with some rubber to make the power usable. Like I said, Drag setup.

It depends on your needs/wants.
