I get E98 delivered from glacialplains.com but may go back to pump E now that it's June and we should get at least E80 at the pumps. I ran the BBK on E70 and Lucas' E98 so whatever E I use with the Black I will have something to compare against.
I never was able to put a-owner goes to x-car last dyno day. Your car is very clean, and that trunk lid is nice; I didn't even know they made one for the CT9A at that point.

BTW - how much for ethanol shipped, and in what volume/container? 55gal drum I imagine?

LOL going to end up with a ER 2.4

I ended up with one issue that was fixed and then got another issue a week or so later. Been working so much and family crap (driving to MT tomorrow) that I haven't even had the time to take off the valve cover. I am pretty sure it is something in the top, like lifters, but it could be something I wouldn't want to drive on like a bad oil pump.

^Whenever my gf says I can spend $10k on something thats not the house or her then I'll join the 2.4 gang. Or when my stock block decides it doesn't like it's rods anymore hehe. Check with your insurance too because I know Esurance only covers up to $2 or $4k of aftermarket mods, it's something retarded.

I have Esurance and I think they are really fair priced! Had a 11k dollar claim 2 years ago and had the money in 2 days, no questions asked.

Ya I think when Aaron priced out my build it was between 8-10k for the motor. Kinda $$$
