Message	Common upgrade path that almost everyone follows... -Good OEM fp limits you to 500ish rwhp -740cc's limits you to around the same, 500ish. -OEM fuel lines, rails, and even hoses have been proven by many, including myself to last. 5+yrs here and counting. (No corrosion, leaks, or what ever) A generalized E85 tune from a respectable vendor is just as safe as any other Q16, c16, or what ever else you could desite to order .. Irritates me to see all this loose nonsense that E85 requires all this cash up front. FALSE. Plenty to be gained with even minor minimum upgrades for those fine with 500rwhp level performance, ie: 740s, good oem fp, etc.... 850ccs cover most z's on the street....600rwhp or less. Beyond that power goal, start stock piling cash for topfeeds... but not required if your setup doesnt exceed the 500-600rwhp range that E85 can support with the basics..... ~Mario D. ---------> target="_blank">border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <---------- me+BIG single VG32DE-T= href="http:// s194.photobucket.com/albums/ z107/mixxed-jamaican/? action=view¤t=racingcharacter.gif" target="_blank">alt="Photobucket"> ----------------------------------- --------------------------------- My current favorite TT.net member quotes: Nice, it's all fun and games until the turbos kick in :) (n/m) - Chickan 14:13:32 02/03/12 -God forgive him, he does not know what he is saying..
