Nice power band, 280awhp at just 4,050 rpms! Picked up ~40hp/60tq, not bad. :)

This is just from switching to E-85?

Yeah, no other changes. It'd be more dramatic if BP93 wasn't so good. The guys from Cali and other states with lousy premium usually have their eyes pop out of their head...

yay torque! Stock turbo on high boost/octane is AWESOME fun! 29psi is a good peak for a stock turbo; even with an uprated clutch there's not a ton of reason to go any higher than that. Now go have fun with it!

The clutch has slipped a couple times when the car is cold. It seems to be fine after it's moved a block or two. Not sure how that's going to pan out. Kinda sux considering how much I've babied the car.

I got a Perrin rear anti-swaybar and the TWM short shifter/base bushings installed on Saturday. I like both of them so far.

Coilover install and gauges are next.

I decided to pre-order the BBK for the X. I'm going to put it on a Grimmspeed ported & coated stock manifold. I thought about going tubular but I just can't justify the cost.

I'm going to make a call on Monday to make an appointment--time to get the coilovers & Whiteline roll center kit installed. I want that done before the turbo arrives. CBRD isn't due to start shipping for two weeks so it could be a while before I see it.

At MAP's dyno day some guys were bad-mouthing the Xs. Between murlo and I, we should be able to fix that.

The Dom 2 is doing 450 on E85 (GST's Mustang dyno). I guess I'd be happy with low 400's at DB.
