I admit it...I LOVE this stuff  . 8,000 miles later and still running very strong. The more I drive it, the more I'm convinced of the viability of ethanol based fuels. Put simply, it'll flat stomp anything that's not built faster. I can't wait to put in a supercharger and bigger injectors . A boxer motor, a roots blower, and alcohol all lend themselves to making an abundantly flat, elevated torque curve. Let's combine a few things to enhance that characteristic and see what happens. Blown alcohol cars becoming a reality on the street? They already are, they just keep veeeeeeerrrrrry quiet.
EVO's, STI's and modded WRX's kill me right now. For still being an all-motor 4 cylinder, I consider beating a stock WRX to be comfy territory. Not too many stock one's around, though  . A WRX owner on another board got a whiff of this stuff in his veins tuned through a utec, 800cc injectors, and 20psi of boost. He liked it, and also maxed his injectors using a very large turbo . Me? I'm gonna long for the simplicity of just a hose clamp after a while.

| Can you verify your setup? What blend are you running and did you have to upgrade any fuel system parts? |

The vehicle is naturally aspirated, correct?
After upgrading the injectors and increasing the fuel pressure, does it still run correctly on 100% gasoline? |

I just purchased my 440cc injectors but haven't installed them yet. The jacked up pressure is on the stock injectors. I want lower fuel pressures so guard against leaks and allow me to jack up the pressure again for boost. Supposedly the computer can handle small increases in inj. sizing. We'll see.
