Thats the right choice if you are doing quarter mile. Those are the cams I am running, they are the BEST ix cams hands down. With that red you should make good power.

Just fyi, your not going to increase your times very much on pump 91 with that turbo. You cant run any more boost then you could with your stock turbo. If you plan on running any more then 22-23psi on 91, your going to have to seriously retard your timing and in that case it just reduces overall horsepower the more you retard and your just asking for a kaboom. Actually I dont recommend running more then 20psi on 91 when I tune peoples cars. Im running 23psi on 92 right now and its too much, my knock light goes crazy every time I full spool so need to retune. I just tuned it for that about a month ago and it was fine, so that should tell you how much weather and stuff effects your tune.

91 is your limiting factor, not your turbo. 91 is HORRIBLE and pretty much stifles us making any power. Bump up to 100 and you will notice a huge difference.

If this is addressed to me My old setup was a very conservative to tune, I could have got it up to 25 with a couple counts of knock here and there but I went the safe way! oh and no 4ws isn't out of business!

Yes that turbo isnt as effecient on pump, I plan on getting maps for 100 and E85 when installed. I have no problems running 23psi on my stock turbo as it is.

As far as I know we can't last I looked or else I'd be running it now!!! lol We can get 100 though. I'm wondering if it's gone down in price yet? When I moved here it was only going for 5 bucks a gallon.

EvoIXreno: I didn't run with the stock clutch. Mine went out at 50k with just a TBE, intake, MBC and tune. I was making 292 to the wheels on 91 and I'm a ***** of a driver compared to most here lol. I'd go ahead and plan for a clutch job just FYI. If your easy on it and don't do a lot of launching and high gear/high load pulls the clutch may last for a while.

Phil: Let me know if you need to stash those parts here man.

Well I would like to be able to pound through the gears, as for launching I might like 3 times if I feel like it can hold it! but I think I am going with the Stg 4 comp clutch when it goes!

Fair enough mate! I was merely stating that if you couldn't afford a new clutch if it goes out then take it easy, but if you can then go ahead. If you launch with the Green you may want to raise the the 2-step to 5700-5800. I'm at 6000 and I think it's a bit too high. It smokes the clutch a bit on launch.

Ive got about 30 launches on my stock clutch, and 33,000 miles on it. It holds fine. It probably wont be good much longer, but it can take a little abuse before it goes so dont worry about launching a few times. My 2 step is set for 5900 and I think its just perfect. Just hit the step and drop the clutch when the lights drop to green lol.

e85 is a no no for cold weather fuel. Its really tough to start when its cold, couple friends in Vegas are running it. Bad thing is in the winter they get the "winter blend" which is e70 and the pumps say nothing about it so they end up knocking on their e85 tune and getting pissed off lol. e70 does start much easier in the winter. I would bet eventually we will get it, because they have it in the midwest and it gets way colder there then here. Dunno why nobody is carrying it yet to be honest.

I think no one here is carrying it because it's not really better for the environment and they're such tree huggers here they realize it's not worth it to have 2 fuels that aren't any better . jk, but seriously it's not better for the environment, but I'd still run it for the warmer months and keep my 91oct tune for winter. Plus E85 is cheaper, from what I've seen, then running 100 oct from the gas station.

Cory, I knew you weren't coming across as an *** or anything I just wanted to make sure you were set if the clutch did go out. Jerel had close to a hundred launches on his stock clutch on his IX RS. He equates it to having his lighter wheels (Enkei RPF's I think is stock size). Which does make sense as there's less load and rotating mass. Maybe he can chime in. I really think what killed my clutch was too many high load pulls (taking off from 2500-3000 RPM's) in 4th and 5th gear)

I replaced my clutch with the act and it locked up on me once from 3rd to 4th at 7500 rpm.

Ive heard about high rpm lockup with the ACT, but usually it tends to just need adjusting at the pedal. Just about everyone in vegas runs the HDSS and once you adjust the pedal its fine. I was worried about it too until I drove one, they feel almost like stock and hold really well. Thats what Im putting in mine when my stocker finally goes, I cant believe I have 30k on it with all the tuning pulls I have on my car haha.

yeah, all my buddy's can attest to my 160+ launches on that car(though no one believes me). it wouldnt die. you just gotta launch hard and fast most of my 60 foots were in the 1.6-1.7 range and a few 1.8's here and there. i was putting out so much torque i had to lower the launch control to 4600 rpm to get good 60 fts. in the 300-380 tq range i wouldnt do anything but another stock clutch.
