"still drives like stock" and all the other stuff you hear from person who finally has hp in a car that is lacking.
Fair enough, I can say all these things, but you have said it for me, so thanks! However I do own a 650hp 2011 gt500 and a 380 hp golf-R, so it is not like I am coming from rags to riches. This car is extremely violent, I will give it that. It hits HARD at 3000rpm, and does not stop. I have not touched the high boost, so I am topping 11psi, which is right about 550hp on the latest tune.

Anyways, so I drove the car home last night, e85 and all. So let's get right to it.

I put about 400 miles on it in all. 50 in traffic. Car was perfect, temps, fluids, no hesitations, all that. So I will hop into specifics. The car is dead silent, no noises, no creaks, whistles or hisses. I made 2 stops(thanks to Tony's quesadilla) and checked everything, perfect.

First, the boost in this kit. Yeah, if I set cruise control at 75-80 mph, it will make boost....lol. I thought it was amusing. I don't drive like a maniac and the I-5 has CHP on it like fly's on ****, but you but bet your *** that I pushed it hard around the gilroy canyon/resevoir area, response is uncanny, car is fast.

e85. I made the whole trip on a full tank. I made 20.8 mpg all in all, including the traffic. I suspect this car to have about 21-22 freeway, since I was pushing it pretty hard. With my setup, the car is pretty quiet, I heard ZERO detonation, none. The fuel system works perfectly, no hesitation anywhere, fuel pressure was watched most the ride and was rock solid.

HOWEVER, fuel starvation was hit as I was pulling into the e85 station near my house. I had about 2gal in tank(fill was 18gal), and I was going straight. So yes, e85's volume will make fuel starvation much easier to run into. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A FUEL STARVATION SOLUTION ON e85, I suspect a hard right at over 1/4 tank to easily cause it. That being said, the engine was fine, did its thing and hauled *** after refill.

That's about it. It's Valentine's day so I will likely post my review and maybe some more info on just what this kit does tomorrow morning.

tl/dr: the car is perfect, insanely fast and efficient. gets 20+ highway mpg on e85, ZERO issues, P-E-R-F-E-C-T
