[QUOTE=harleyreb1;1599777221]E85 requires a good bit of fuel and I’m not familiar with a DSX zr1 fuel pump kit.[/QUOT

Correct, should be plenty for my application. Not a fan of Hobb switches and this does not use one.

I know the power now idea is tempting but setting up the rear end first, then getting the engine prepped for boost is the smart choice. If you go motor/power first you get that dude cracked open realize it’s a good bit of work and time involved...then you go down the rabbit hole of “while you’re in there” mine as well do this and that.

Now the $10k is gone you got a car making good power and you’re running around on factory 19’s with an NTO5R 800+whp like and *******. Now all you can do is third gear runs and hope the NTO5R’s don’t put you in a ditch because how pissed they are about the added bald eagles ...talking **** about how they don’t hook for anything...been there did that.

Figured while it was open to get it done. Tune it once. Im hoping the new r888R's I just got mounted hold what power is to be when it is finished.

Picked her up today...she did 741/640. Very happy with the results. Beautiful install. Clutch feels awesome and that smell of corn fuel is nothing but sweetness.
