I've been busting butt all day, haha. Jarrod just sent me a link.

Thanks a lot for the great review, we appreciate it.

The E85 is just wicked fuel, the power that is possible on it is pretty amazing. I read a review from another tuner in the EVO industry that said it was marginally better than 93, I feel the stuff is closer to C16.

Your car was beast and I sure hope you spend a lot of time enjoying it.

Take some time to go autocross and get some use out of it. In a few years nobody will remember the overtime you put in at your job but you'll remember the great times you had with the car and friends.

Thanks for letting us build it!!

Drove the car this weekend to get some more corn likker and I still can't get over the driveability of this car. It's truly amazing! I'm glad I switched to E85 now 'cause 93 is getting very scarce here in Columbia. For anyone on the fence about switching, I would seriously consider converting.

Did you ship the car to ohio? How did you get it back down to SC? I read some post on the quickest 2009 times and you might be heading to darlington. I might join you next week.

No, I've driven it up every year for the past 3 years. This year will make 4! I've gone up to Ohio every year with Coheterojo, or Mr. Lowe as we call him. He's from around your way in Moncks Corner. So after he & Dennis almost won the stock appearing class at the Shootout last year, I caught a ride back here with him because of the clutch ordeal. I had to fly back a few weeks later and pick it up, thanks to Jarrod.

Just let me know if you want to head to Darlington. We probably can set something up.

Congrats on the numbers!

What kind of gas mileage are you getting now on E85?

Thanks! These numbers will be changing. I'm running the Red now and DB hasn't done a full tune yet.

I've been running the E for about a year now and I've never figured out my mileage! Best I've calculated thusfar is to a half tank a couple weeks back which was 118 miles of hwy driving. That's not blowing the doors off anybody either. I don't drive my EVO everyday, mostly weekends, so I usually fill up once a week.

That's not bad at all. I was under the impression that E85 kills your mpg but for a half tank of gas that's not bad at all. Congrats again on an awesome car, it must be a blast to drive

Yes it is! And DB hasn't fully tuned it yet, just some small adjustments.

I recommend the E for anybody that wants more power. You don't have to go crazy with mods either. If it was around here a couple years back, I probably would have done some things differently. If you have access to it, my advice is to use it. Get you a 93 map in case you take a trip or something or need to switch for whatever reason, and your set.
