    I want to, but the only track still doing T/O is over an hour away and they start at 4 pm on a wednesday. I don't even get off till 5. But I will be doing my best. Take in consideration on my track times that I am at over 5000 Feet elevation as well and on street tires. Spent to much on other mods and couldn't afford DR's by the time I was done

    yeah I know but I always think the worste so I am not disappointed later. I love the way it drives now. Pulls like beast... but torque steer has increased a lot as well. It's worth it to me

    Aaron....I would like to hear you talk more about the E-85.....I understand that it is 100-105 octane and from what bigeasy says you can get more HP from a FI engine with it over 93 octane?.....E-85 is available at several stations locally and sells about $1 cheaper than prem...

    I don't know for sure if you get more power from it. I do know that you can run leaner on it safer. I do know that there are a lot of guys in my car owners club that run a 50/50 mix in there neon's and are seeing great gains from it. I have no personal experience yet

    See that wouldn't be worth it. You will get a lot worse gas milage on E85. The only reason I am considering it is because E85 is half the price of gas here so I would still be paying about .05 to .10 cents less per gallon after it is all said and done.

    This is something we could get into all day about and honestly this is something I am not an expert on. We use pump gas or race gas. Havent dabbled in E-85 all that much.

    Here are two threads I found quickly

    It is a bit more then just that I think. I asked Aaron for specific's but he said due to compition, he won't give me that info lol. I can't say I blame him one bit. But the compression inlet from the intake is bored out a lot I can say that much.

    Intriguing. Didnt know you could just upgrade the turbine in a turbo as opposed to completely replace it. I know you cant do that with an SC. Pretty sweet. You can def tell that sucker is ported and polished.

    Thats a very nice looking piece

    I just filled up my tank after setting the trip and discovered something else that amazed me. Not only did I get a huge HP boost, my MPG went up as well. I am not getting about 31 MPG on the highway. That is not driving conservative either. That is fluxuating between 70 and 100 mph with no cruise set.

    I also filled up my tank after doing some city driving and discovered I am getting 25MPG in the city. Again, I do not ever take it easy on this car. So that is a lot of hard acceleration and stop and go traffic.

    I would recommend the stage 2 upgrade to anyone, or at least the stage 1.
