What I meant by who cares about boost levels is..... A higher psi because of a pulley drop does not always mean more power. That's what I was getting at with efficiency.
If you are going to drop a pulley size make sure you can do it by also increasing efficiency (opening up the exhaust, ported head, etc.). Do this, and you will be able to utilize the added airflow from the smaller pulley to maximize gains.

So in my case would it really be worth it to run e85 bc there arent many stations around me with it I mean my goal hp is around 275fwhp for now it is my dd still. But I dont wanna cook my engine either. And I really dont wanna run meth. I am sorry if these are stupid questions but I am still a noob for sure.

running 2.7 complete with recovery/cooling mods on 93 octane just fine...... but i i also live in a cooler climate with plenty of cool mountain air at my disposal.... iat2 holding at 135f at the worst...... staged07 is right tho, i feel a 3inch intake, ported head, 3 inch exhaust would be a great help....

Yeah trying being here in Az with only about 4 months of so called cold weather. Were always 90* and above with long streaks of 100*+ days. Iats are a bitch to keep down but when you mod the intercooler system right even here I've seen nice iat numbers. These cars have a good factory h/e. It just needs a little help.
