Thinking of converting to E85.. Yes or Ne??

Anyway Chris, now that you have the fuel pump fixed and a tune do you notice a difference in power with e85? I filled up the other day at $2.69 a gallon with a smile on my face

I like it so far, although my gas mileage has gone from "decent" to "crap". The car definitely feels like it pulls harder, however I really need to drop a couple pulley sizes to really take advantage of the stuff. I'm still rocking a 3.0 for now.

Yeah you will get a couple mpgs less with e85 but with the fuel costing less it evens out. Post up when you drop that pulley and let us know how it goes. I'm trying to decide what to do next on my car because the trans should really be next but I really want to port the blower and get a N*. The trans is fine now but I know adding all this power will kill it. I'll do both eventually but can realistically only do one or the other this winter... You are on a stock trans too right?

Yessir, stock trans and still doing just dandy. I'm going to start piecing stuff together for a new trans because I know one day the stocker is going to go boom. I'm on borrowed time lol. I wouldn't waste your time and possibly $$ porting a gen 3. Just get a gen 5 and be done with it. You'll thank me later

I'd like a GenV but I've two Gen3's in my garage and they are worth crap anymore to sell so I'll just port one of them and live with a little less efficient blower I guess.

I'd like a GenV but I've two Gen3's in my garage that I could still sell, but I'd rather port one of them and live with a very less efficient blower and make less power I guess.

There.. I cleaned that up for you a bit.
