Exhaust, drop in filter, mbc, and a tune on e85 will surprise you, especially if you think the car has decent power now.

E85 blah blah. Not everyone has viable access to that goodness. On pump go...

Start with a full 3" exhaust from the turbo all the way back.
Drop-in filter or AEM intake.
MBC
Cams
Professional custom tune at a reputable shop.
Cosmetics...

Better look at upgrading the clutch before you think about 11's, definitely before you get into the 10's.

I was told by another member you need 1000cc injectors to run E85.........is this true?
