Thanks Freddie.
I live 2 hours away, nearly 100 miles from Orlando. I've lived here for over 25 years now. 
Thanks. We are definitely having fun over here in many different ways.

Wizzo, I've yet to have any negative experiences with methanol injection with years of constant use. As tempting as it is to hop on the E85 wagon, unfortunately for me the closest pump is nearly 100 miles away. With this methanol setup I should still be able to pull out peak potential of my setup while having full power 24/7 without worries of needing a specific gas station. 
I don't blame you for the switch. 5min away is far more manageable then 2 hours.
Indeed!
Just a quick update. The new motor has nearly 100 miles on it. As per MAP's break in procedure instructions, the 100 mile oil change has been done. The car feels much more responsive with the higher compression then when I last drove it with factory motor. I'm pleased to say the least.

Nice, good ol 2.0. I have been eyeing that map 2.0 stage 2 for some time. What did the higher compression help you with as opposed to the factory compression? Turbo tuff? How often do you think you'll need to replace the bearings due the I beam weight beatin it down? Just trying to get some info

I'm not really concerned with the weight of the manley rods damaging the rod bearings prematurely. Imo, prolonged consistent detonation will wear them out much faster then even the heaviest rods on the market. In short, I expect the bearings to last a long time.
