I'm really considering getting tuned on E47 instead of 93 next year.

Lol. It's fine and wonderful, but there is always other options.

I'd love to test the waters out...

I was gonna post a couple 60-120 videos today, but since youtube is in READ ONLY mode, I can't upload them.

Just be careful with the stock bottom end on the 259 man. That turbo can definitely dish out some decent power. I'd hate to see you pop a trans AND an engine!

Speaking of trans, when did you get yours all put back together and what setup did you go with?

Lol. They make replacement parts for a reason! But I probably won't end up going that route. I'll probably just stick with mine and eventually get more and more fun toys for it till I get bored.

I got my car out back together on the 16th. There was a quarter inch by half inch hole like an inch below the TOB from third shattering. I ended up getting a rebuilt 4.45 trans from Powell. Couldn't be any happier. The pull in just about any gear is pretty crazy. It is actually almost unbelievable at certain times. Definitely should've swapped clutches or moved onto something better than the KY stage 3 seeing as it slips doing any WOT pulls. Every pull I do, I'm easing into the throttle. It blows...

Wow really?? Did you remove the clutch assembly and clean everything before putting the news trans in? I can almost promise you that fluid got on the flywheel, pressure plate and clutch material when the case shattered by the tob. If that's the case, then it's no surprise that it's slipping like a ****.

I actually have the same clutch (had it for about a year and a half now) and it's been pretty good to me so far (knock on wood). It's handled all that I can throw at it so far at the 421/406 power level I'm currently at so I can't really complain.

Ya. Everything got removed and cleaned but Powell told me there is absolutely no way you can remove everything if it got saturated. More than likely its junk. It held before my trans broke but once every blue moon it would slip here and there. Now I can't go WOT without it doing it. Its fine though. I'm probably gonna track it next Tuesday and if it slips there, I'm gonna be done beating on it for a while. I'm about broke seeing as I paid for a vacation and my trans all in the same month.

I'd love to dyno mine and see what it does. I'd be happy with at least 380/400.

The sheetz where Cody gets it on 22 has E85 and 92 at the same pump. That isn't horrible. He still pays for gas with cash though... Throw card in twice and pump.. I could probably handle that for a little bit anyhow haha. I agree, it isn't the easiest. Car better run a hell of a lot better on it to be worth the hassle.

You would need 80s to run E85

H/e will help with cooling. Header and DP will make power. Save the cash over the rest and toss a meth kit on to cool the IAT2s even more and get some more power once tuned for the increased octane...

2 60-120 pulls in my car. They look slower than they are. First run I ran 3.83 60-100. Second run, I ran 3.58 60-100.

Lol. Tell me about it. I should've kept the logs. I'll do more after work and post more results. Looking at the vids, its mind blowingly slow. Makes it look weird.
