Fabron757 has a custom kit and we are waiting on a fa20 club kit to show up for ampted-frs.

@Ross I'd hope by the time my deployment is up late next year that I will be seeing you about dropping a turbo/etc in as well (:

I hope so too.

Fabrons FRS is ridiculous. Ross did an awesome job on the build. Definitely hit him up for your build.

i took a ride in that thing at the meet earlier today. i was very impressed. the power delivery is amazing. i never would have expected such a smooth power curve from a larger turbo like that putting down that amount of power. i might even go so far as to say it felt like a large displacement NA rather than small engine big turbo. again i was very impressed. definitely going to be seeing ross some time soon.

Ross, my friends keep telling me about someone with a custom setup locally making 400+who on the 16lbs with pump gas. Is this your custom kit? If so, I have many many questions. I had previously contacted ramey built and melinium about full blown kit and custom work.

Very interested, please get back to me.

Ask away. Someone else may have a similar question and that may kill 2 birds with one stone. Also it is on e85 at 16 psi. It was also a full custom kit.

That makes so much more sense, my information was bad. Ive been racking my brain trying to figure out how its been holding together....even if you used water/math. E85 is so tough to come by regulary in Hampton roads. Did you guys discuss c85 use or water/meth tuning at all, and what are you opinions?

Depends on what part of Hampton Roads. I drive by a station with an E-85 pump every day on the way to work, so availability is never an issue for me.

For fabron he is close to e85, on his way to work. For me as much as I love it on this engine it would be a no go just for the fact it is a 20 to 30 minute drive for me to get it. When the rest of amped's stuff comes in we will be using meth injection on his. We will also be implementing a fail safe system just in case. on amped's car we expect to run 14 to 16 psi, it will all come down to what his engine likes. I really wish there were more e85 stations in this area, I also feel all e85 cars should have a flex fuel system just in case, we will be implementing that into fabron's car when we do the fuel system.

I was looking for 16ish lbs on 93+water/meth. What are your thoughts on running c85?
