She's cornfed now....
On the quest for more hp (as we all are), I decided it was finally time to get on the flex fuel band wagon and put down some real power. I decided this past weekend that today would be the day to call in and head down to ER for the switch to E85.
Old numbers on pump gas:
The only mods since then are an ACT HDSS clutch, Agency Power solid front engine mount, FP 18psi WG, Muse o2 dump, and as of today the E85 and Precision 1000cc injectors (thanks again John/thrilla). This is still on a stock Mivec engine, stock cams, and completely stock and unported Evo IX turbo and exhaust manifold.

The sheet:
Little bit of Flex Fuel swag (see lower right trunk):
Planning on doing my last mods of the year between now and June 19th's dyno day which are an FP 84mm anti-surge compressor housing and 4" JM Fab intake (I plan on writing up a seperate review for the compressor housing mod since no one really has yet).
Big thanks again to Aaron for really bringing the life out of this car everytime down and also working with me after I showed up an hour late to my appt (me late???...no way). Also to all the ER haters and S-talkers here, please leave your negative comments to yourself. For one, you're jeopordizing relationship with the shop not just for yourself but for others who do happen to appreciate the hard work Luke, Aaron, and the crew do for us in the community (great pricing, North dyno days, favors/emergencies/tows/last minute appts/etc, etc...). For two, the world is small thanks to the net and a tight net community....what you say gets around and WILL get back to ER so just keep that in mind. If you don't like the benefits of a "diamond in the rough" first class shop that happens to be local, then take your car to (with all due respect) PSI or fly it to GST, AMS, AWD, or Buschur and pay more to get similar work/results done. Don't F it up for the rest of us because you'll only get put onto the ever growing "Giant Douche" list.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. And I agree Keith, I think everyone should be 400+. That'd be a nice team feat to see.
And yes, corn is awesome (smells good too).

I kid, I kid.
BTW, why would anyone be hating on someone else's power numbers? Seems kinda weird. It's on E after all.

Thanks Shane. Johns (thrilla) car and my car are proof you dont need to build to make good power. Everyone is quick to change out the stock Mivec cams when they actually make great power all along.

nice power... I'm jealous...
so are you gonna run e85 all the time now? if not, how does it work when you have some odd mixture of e85 and regular 92 octane in there? or do you have to siphon out the gas whenever you switch between e85 and 92 octane?
