Oh that's cool. I was planning on having TJ roll the fenders on my wife's Evo at some point.

We last had it tuned by RRE. They have experience tuning Evo Xs, and I'd recommend hitting them up.

The wife and I left with 3 minutes to go...Chargers up by 5. As we were walking through the parking lot, we heard a bunch of cheering only to hear an announcer say "touchdown Panthers". Chargers are not looking very strong. Good thing for them they have a weak schedule.

Yea, E85 went down to 3.39 over the weekend. This is less then 20% cost difference between E85 and 91oct, but at a 30% less mpg with E85. I was feeling real good when the difference was $1.25.

Nice! Gotta go fill-up tomorrow...

When I think about the cost of E-85, I don't compare it to 91 octane--I compare it to race fuel because it is a better comparison octane wise. For more of an apples to apples comparison, you should compare the cost of E-85 to MS109. So, $3.39 as compared to ~$7.xx.

I compare it to 91oct, because I want the cost to be a wash. Requires 30% more fuel, but at a 30% less cost. It's about the HP/TQ that I gained at a cost of new Injectors and the Tune, that will pay it self off with in a year, or at least it was at $1.25 difference.

You can obviously make whatever comparison you'd like to.

I look at it from the stand-point of wanting to run 104-105 motor octane fuel for the cheapest amount possible, and E-85 fits that bill to a t.

Econo is the route I went with this car. Megan Exhaust, used Invidia O2, used ETS Hard Intake pipe, ETS IC Kit (best price on the market) 255 FP, and RC1000cc.
This is why I went E85, I couldn't get this kind of power with Cams, porting and a TB. 52hp/38tq gain is hard to beat. I would have never went ms109 on a economic route.

Right...5 gallon drum for ~$55. If you can buy a 55 gallon drum you save a few bucks per gallon.
