Awesome indeed. It is definitely one of the best mods I have done; maybe only second to the FP Red turbo upgrade.

When you go back to 91 octane, the car will feel like a Honduh Civic :P

I have the Hallman, so i just have it marked for an e85 tune and the 91 tune. But yes, i can switch maps with my laptop. I was thinking about running 91 through her every 10 tanks or so, i have heard of E85 gumming up the engine after awhile. Anyone else experienced this? Not sure on the MPGs just yet, ill let ya know when i refill.

I found gumming on my inline f. filter and fuel socks...I used seafoam and it cleaned them up pretty good .
I will probably use a can every time I change my oil.

Truer words were never spoken. Its way too easy to get a boost...I'm like a crack addict now. I took a road trip[ to Orlando.....here right now I have been googling the E85 gas stations close me.
My mpg is worse now because I can't resist the urge to goose it on on ramps, the odd charger or 350 will be stupid and try me. its too much fun. I can't wait until I upgrade my turbo/ic/manifold next year.
500 foot lbs of torque with almost stock boost curve should be stupid

I cant imagine 500ft/lbs of torque, it almost hurts now to drive the car, lol.

I think the funniest thing when I say my lowboost setting is with 93 octane.
