LOL not even close.
Remember this is a break in tune and even my final tune will be really mild. I believe my turbos max out around 550whp..i'm expecting my final tune will be around 500-520whp.
I'd need to upgrade the turbos / switch to a twin fuel pump setup / and upgrade injectors if i want to run above 600whp.

So for those wondering what I have planned for the future since my car is never finished...I feel very lucky to be within a few miles of one of these

Some of you may be saying big whoop, but look at all the E85 stations listed here in california: http://e85vehicles.com/e85-california.htm and you will see what I mean.

thats all fine if you never plan on driving the car away from your neighborhood.
You just cant top it off with pump gas and expect your tune to be close. It wont. It takes me almost 2 full 93 octane tanks to get back to normal E10 from an E85 tank.
Just something to think about.

Oh... Why am I not surprised that your dumbass listed it in the "Engine" section of your mod list in your first post instead of the "Drivetrain" section. Hence why I didn't see it initially.

Update:
The tuner that works with GearHeinz hasn't got a chance to work on my car so I am taking it to Church Automotive to put a break-in tune on the Haltech. GearHeinz is kind enough to take off the day just to go with me and supervise everything while it is at Church's. The car will then go back to GearHeinz to get the new rotors/brake pads installed and I think I will ask for an oil change. Scheduled for dyno this Friday.
