Even with taking the cover of the intake manifold?

What was the peak power difference between those two? (If the peak power was about the same and the power curve just moved 500 rpm to the left, it would still be useful, as it could be kind of the poor man's shorter final drive.)
I guess if the peak power difference was significant, an alternative could still be a shorter BPB - are there any plans for that?

Unfortunately, I felt it was too tight even with the cover off. I was thinking to use some spacers to make it fit, but that didn't seem like a good idea.

Installed blocks today. Took one hour. Still on stage 1 flash so power feels soggy. Will try bpb map later on.

What's the problem if its too tight?
I just dont understand it. It fits or it doesnt...

Finally installed bpb flash. Huge difference. Like oft stage 1 with more power everywhere.

I read somewhere that E85 and BPB's don't mix. The car that this was tested on had BPB's, and I guess the owner wanted to experiment with E85. This car is great with E85 NA or not. In fact, somebody managed to make 200whp on a stock BRZ with E85 and a tune. Apparently, there were power losses on the car that was tested when they poured E85 into it. Why is this? Can a tune fix it? Is it possible that it's because they didn't tune it or that there was still regular gas in the tank? Also what do you think would yield better results? NA+E85, NA+BPB+pump gas, NA+some other race gas, or NA+BPB+some other race fuel? Lastly, do you think BPB's would help in FI applications? Sorry that I have so many questions, but I'm kinda starting to question the product a little.

Thanks in advance.

Did you even bother to read this thread? The answers to all your questions are literally on the last 2-3 pages.

I don't mean to be rude, but I wasn't asking you. I was asking everyone who saw my post, and whoever reads it can decide whether or not they care to help me. If they don't, it's my problem, but you don't have to tell me to read five pages of information. Anyways, Shiv says he thinks E85 or FI don't mix with the BPB's, but he says he needs to do more tuning, as he "hasn't exhausted all tuning possibilities yet." I just wanted to know the results that other people may have gotten from the same type of test to verify Shiv's observations.

Are the maps still in "BETA"? (it still says so on your website)
I'm waiting for that tag to be removed before I install the BPB's lol
