91 vs e85

Yeah I thought I told you at the Pupusa meet. It wound up being something $3100 in damage total. Then right after I got it back the battery died so I was fighting that last week. Now it seems to be back to its normal finicky self

Thanks,
I actually went extremely easy on it since the vf really struggles with EGBP up top, so it's only running 3* more timing in the midrange, and only like 1* more up top over pump gas.

Don't care about peak numbers anywhere near as much as I care about that juicy torque curve

I'm going to hold off on the blouch now. Because, I mean, I'm not bored lol

Does anyone wanna hit Sac Raceway sometime soon? Not sure if they're closed for winter yet or not.

Vladi, I’m always down for a trip to SRP!

Wednesday street nights go until mid-December and Test and Tune only closes for a small window in Winter.

Sweet
Yeah I'm thinking Wednesday for sure, weekends way too crowded and busy.

I'll start asking people and we'll set a day. It's not blistering hot anymore so it should be a lot of fun.

Maybe we could even move one of the thurs night meets to wed one time, hit the track for a couple hours, then hit in-n-out on sunrise or some other place (tons of places here in the zinfandel/50 area too)

Sweet! Winter air has been my best friend since I moved to California.

I always set my best times between mid-December and February at Test & Tune (but that's with severely traction limited RWD cars).

I'd love to check out some Subies doing their thing down the 1/4!

1) Redline is 6500, tiny baby vf doesn't make any more power past that, no point in spinning it higher.
2) intake, header, exhaust + e85 fuel system basically
3) You should totally drive down. TO THE RIGHT TRACK THIS TIME
