Yea EE is evo eliminator which is the top class but q16 is for the fastest and has a higher payout but you have to pay more as well.
As for e85 nashville TN has some but KY is few and far between it seems. I would be nervous driving that far on e85 with how small our tanks are and generally how poor our fuel economy is. I guess you could just pack a few 5 gallon jugs.

Even though i will be helping the enviroment... i dont think i would even try to make it up there from Texas on e85. I might, will see

Im on the SS often. I live about an hour away from the south side of Indy.
Everything is done in the bay until the turbo kit is built. I need to put fluids in the transmission and the rear end, double check all suspension bolts and do a quick string alignment. I also want to plug in the aem and test all the wiring before it ships out. Hopefully next week I can start updating with turbo kit and cage pics!

Everything is finally complete in the engine bay with the exception of the turbo kit. I found a few pics from the years past for comparison I thought Id share.
Current-FF6262
Last year-6262
2009-35r
2008-50 trim
2007-50 trim
I don't have any pics from when it was stock turbo in 2006 but we all know what they look like.

Thanks! Yes I switched back to the ported stocker. Im hoping this decision wont hurt me at the track. I was reving the car to 92-9500 last year, it wrecked havoc on the oil pump, trans, and the rod bolts. Nothing was completely destroyed but I just don't feel the wear and tear is needed if I can shift my power band down and try to shift around 8500. If my goal isn't met Ill switch to something else. I LOVED the Magnus but I hated removing the SOB and I hated all the vacuum lines on the bottom blocking the flange bolts. If I ever get another one I will plug all of those and weld one large bung in for a vacuum block. Of course at that time the car will have a 67mm and different rods in it

What rod bolts were you running? and i take it you were on the stock oil pump?
I ask because i will be going 2.0 and revving high as well. I know i will run into problems like always, but if i can somewhat prepare myself it would help.
I can shoot you a PM if you like man

Stock pump, 2 years old. I really don't see it as an issue just a maintenance item to be honest. I had planned on changing it every 2 years anyways. I have arp 2k rod bolts but my rods are fairly heavy. I was just past the recommended ratings at those rpms. I didn't do the math, I should but I didn't. The rod manufacturer did. 8500 should be a lot closer to manufactures specs on what the rod bolts can handle. If the engine doesn't make it I really want an aluminum rod engine for some reason and that will be my excuse. If it does make it I will just upgrade rod bolts and rev it higher. My rod weight is around 650

As for the rod bolts. Going to have to research a little more on whats what. I will be sure to use something that will tolerate the rev range and weight. Thats pretty funny how you look at it though... "if it doesnt work out then aluminum internals it is", somewhat optimistic
What rods are you running again?
