^ Thats why they have spots to pull off. If you do have someone riding your bumper than pull off. Im not running it super hard but I hate ending up behind someone not even maintaining the speed limit.

for once I agree with Rich on something..... (sorry Rich) but now that I haz upgraded my injectors I might see what E85 will do for an NA car... never had enough injectors before, and since i live in corn syrup belt SC it wouldn't be hard for me to get it...... thinking.

stay tuned after zdayz..... I know how are cars react to torco wonder if its the same or similar reaction???? we are thinking of a 15:1 compression for one of our cars....... could be a obnoxious

I like to drive at what you might call " spirited ". I'm probably gonna go up to 15 mph faster than speed limit or so but I'm going so I can enjoy my drive, not total my car...

But yes I agree on hating getting stuck behind blue hairs that won't get out of the way and won't go past idle speed.

You need an upgraded fuel system to run E85... so not just any engine can safely burn it.

on a NA car, you dont need much of an upgrade. mainly just the tune.

regardless, I think once everyone sees how bad/time consuming parking and traffic will be around the resort, most cars will be parked all weekend anyhow = more beer/bullisht time

Well I was already running 93% duty cycle on the stock injectors, so I had to upgrade, now that I have more ceiling I can explore a little more, and now that i have Cams and can pull some serious vacuum that 85mm throttle body I have sitting around might just have to find its way onto the Z

the new trend is 11+:1 compression with big turbos on E85.

15:1 NA would probably be no problem on E85.

Good to see the chance of rain dimishing next week!

This forum needs a LIKE button for str8's comments

EDIT: Bryan, I'm excited to see your car and see what upgrades got you to 93% duty cycle on stock injectors!!

Week before ZDAYZ and it looks like I'm pulling the rear axles. I have that bad clicking sound, so I'm gonna pull and grease them. Still need to get my windshield replaced as well. Atleast I got my tires ordered.
