Yes it comes out of a pump, but calling e85 "pump" is a little deceiving I think, because typically people think of 92 or what not as "pump".

It does come out of a pump. I'll count it!

It comes out a pump, costs less than race gas, is found at 300+ gas stations in MN including Holigays, and changes all the time. It must be pump gas.

you could also heat wrap the mani and downpipe. It helps to reduce engine temps. I think you could even get heat wrap at checker or some place to that extent.
Mark (TKR) could chime in on this if he wants, but he just had a DNP mani crack because it was wrapped. I thought I remembered him saying something that DNP advises against wrapping them for that specific reason.

I put some thermo-tec heat shield shit on the underside of my hood tonight. It's not sticking too well to the un-smooth surfaces of the CF. However, could I get some short, small self-tapping screws, and screw into the ribbing part of the underside to help keep it stuck in it's place?

The screws could work, but I'd be concerned that they would pull out of the CF quite esily.

I would look at some better adhesive. You don't want to crack the CF. Super 77 is great stuff, but I am not positive it would take the heat. Fleet Farm has a great selection of stuff like that. Silicone might be another option.

Yes. Contact cement would be another option, if it will hold up to the heat.
