First tune for my IX

I recently had my car tuned for the first time.

Here's the mods on the car:
HKS intake
Hallman MBC
Cobb tbe
Walbro 255 Fuel pump
AMS fuel rail

I'm happy with the numbers. Should I go with an E85 tune?

Maybe I will then! I may go get intercooler pipes first. I will need bigger injectors as well right?

Yessir, Id say a whole intercooler upgrade to like a 3.5" with short route piping (and a mini battery to do so) and then larger injectors.

Im not sure what size would be needed for your power level, prolly an 880cc or 1000cc on 1 walbro pump would be ok. Not 100% sure on that part though.

What company would you go with? I looked at the AMS setup... That's a 4 inch core. Wouldn't that be overkill for a stock turbo? Is E85 bad on anything longterm?
