Solely E85, what'd that do for you with no turbo to increase boost? I can't see a few degrees of timing being worth the extra effort. Have you pulled the fuel pump lately?

OP, you are going to have a hard time getting an apples to apples comparison from this crowd. You should narrow it down very specifically.

For example:
CRITERIA:
Engine =V6, Inline 6 or Flat 6
Engine Technology = Internal Combustion Engine
Fuel = High Quality North American Gasoline
Forced Induction = No
Drive Train = RWD
Engine Location = Front
Transmission = Manual, Automatic, or Manumatic
Trim = Base, Sport, or Specialty Model
Year in Production = First, Second, or Third Year
Price Range = $25K - $55K
Weight of Car = <3500 lbs, >3500 lbs

These are all key factors when comparing cars and performance / value. I really like the fact that it took several years for any cars in the $30K range to catch up to the performance value that the Z brought to the table back in late 2008.

Yep. Agreed on your extra categories.

did you just get bigger injectors? curious what you did and what you dynod at because running e85 should just allow you to advance timing.
