I enjoyed reading this thread up to this point. :) Keep the updates coming!
Also, I think a smaller tank/bigger engine combination would keep up as well as your compressor.

Got a lot done this weekend. My dad was able to help me out for a few hours while we were waiting for the football game to come on. We worked on routing the brake lines to get them as close to the fuse box as possible to make the engine bay a little more spacious. Once they were routed properly, we cut the lines, put on the inverted flare fittings, and flared the lines so they could be installed in the tees I bought. My dad worked on flaring the lines while I finished prepping the remaining body parts for paint.
Filled out the fiberglass patches and sanded them down. Painted the bumper, headlights, and wrap-around spoiler but I'm going to go back and touch some places up with filler. Until then I'm just going to mount them on the car. There are other portions of the body I want to redo anyway.
Pics to come.

it's really all about what size turbo your running and where you want your power to be shifted...
if your running a big turbo, and you get 262's your wasting time because your turbo won't spool till 5500-6k rpms @ full boost as an example and the 262's a generally a mid to high (stock Red line) cam as far as i am aware...I hope this helps. like my friend matt has 280s...which he needs because hes not at 45 psi till close to 7k so he has the cams to help shift the power band and help make power all the way to the 10k limiter on his talon. his car is low 11's with a 150+ mph ET...bad launches but a hella lot of top end.
Yeah I've been looking into cams, but that will be WAY down into the future now that I'm almost dead set on E85.
do they have much e85 where you live? they have very few stations here in nashville area...not enough for a conversion, I talked about purchasing 55 gallon drums till i learned that it doesn't have shit for a shelf life.
There are two stations within 2 miles of my house, which is funny because there are about 10 stations total in Alabama. :pQuote:

Also, there's a HSV Flat Four meet tomorrow night at Mellow Mushroom if you want to come. Not a huge meet but always a good time and some pretty cool cars (not just Subies) show up.
I can go pump race gas easier then I can pump e85 in nashville. Theres about 4 or 5 stations in middle tn all of which are 20-50 miles apart and none close to me.
Oh that reminds me since u guys arent crazy far. Huge car show/drift event cancer benefit on the 22nd along with 60$ dyno sessions. Nashville super speedway. Just thought id throw it out there
