    Forget the drag/street racing. The track content is what we want more of.

    @@kyuea1930 there are already a saturated amount of people modifying strictly for straight line speed. It’s much more beneficial for the overall community to focus on more track oriented content. Especially when road course driving is the superior hobby vs racing in “Mexico”, lol.

    Just throwing it out there for the single piston rear guys, carbotech makes a few brands of dedicated track pads for those of us that got base msport brakes.

    I never run my big turbo M340 hard when I have just 93 octane in the tank which I do every 1-1.5 months to help clean/flush E85 from system. I'm on flex fuel tune and choose to run my car hard only when full E85 from pump is in my tank. Definitely more of a safety buffer, that's my take and advice from my performance shop.

    If you have a safe tune it doesn't matter. E85 isn't foolproof.

    @kern417 true. Your not wrong brother but the cooling properties and ability to help prevent detonation etc from E85 is worth running/is always better option when pushing your car/engine to extremes that's my opinion and route that I take is all I'm saying. You're a smart dude that knows what he's doing and that I respect, just voicing my thoughts & opinion is all brother
