What AFR were you gunning for on ethanol, what boost did you see with the 2.8" on the 1320, what were the temps. at the time of the dyno and how did you get E60, that's a crappy station! I'd check again in summer to see if they are really putting 85% in there, but with E70 it's around 104-105 so you are about right for octane, but the high octane level isn't the only benefit to ethanol.
All you need to know is posted in the very first post. In addition to that, I was seeing 11-12psi on the 2.8 with the open down pipe. More like 15psi on the street through the stock catback. The temps/time and other weather info are in the picture I posted in response to pure2sin's ridiculousness, it was like 60 degrees. The e60 comes from the only gas station in Connecticut that sells "e85". Everyone said to test the fuel to verify ethanol content and when I did I was pretty disappointed. There's definitely a lot more to be had from some proper summer blend e85.

I posted the cost breakdown like 4 posts above, but here it is again so that everyone is clear.


SLoW SHO

So far the budget isn't working out too bad...

TVS with 3 pulleys $1200
Adapter plate $300
M62 for mockup $80
Alt Relocation $60

Sold my GenV and pulleys/MPS for $700

So far this has cost me $940. I'm pretty confident that I wont need a whole lot more as there isn't much left to do.

This... You're not going to make more power on a turbo setup unless its well built with a good IC. That's gonna cost ya. DH will be in here in a minute to tell you he runs 30psi through the stock engine and makes 600whp, but in reality most turbo setups will see under 350whp.

Yeah he's willing to make more. We still have to verify whether or not the plate works with currently available IC cores.
