E85 if available in your area.
I would like to add a flex fuel kit because of the lack of e-85 stations. Any suggestion on which one is the best?

I cannot help here.

I am running 93 and switching to e85 "manually" when I head to a track day.

Flex fuel kit is a luxury (not that is not worthy) Every extra penny goes to track days (fees, tires, brakes...keep counting)

Any decent flex fuel kit will work. They all work the same. But to use it properly you need ecutek

I personally wouldn't do flex fuel if e85 isn't conveniently available. I also personally would not spend nearly 2 grand for an ACE header that will get me 200whp on pump. And let's not even talk about torque - which is really probably what you want. Only way to do that is forced induction. Some folks just don't want FI, but if cost is the only thing preventing you, you might want to save your pennies and keep an eye out for a nice shape used FI kit. That's what I ended up doing and the car has tons of power now.
