59th and Olive is kinda close to you since you live by arrowhead. They are all over and I am seeing more pop up.

I cant remember the site that has all the places in az with E85...

Until they are every couple miles I suggest a 5 gallon race tank for the trunk. Some of us do it, helps out a lot.

Edit: I think there is one at 9080 W. olive too, just off the 101. Have not been there though.

A couple in Scottsdale, couple near down town phx, couple in tempe, couple in Mesa...

You lose about 20% fuel economy but the fuel is about 40 cents cheaper. The easiest is to get the tank as close to empty as possible, fill up with me in the car, load the tune, and do some last adjustments.

That hybrid will likely be 5-10% less efficient (max whp on a regular GT2871 is approx 455-460 whp this turbo will be 5-10% less more than liekly) than a regular GT2871 due to cramming a huge compressor wheel into a smaller K-04 housing that has been machined to make it a larger. It should spool up very quickly but I am still a little worried about surge issues with that wheel in the K-04s housing.

Both of you should go dyno at the same time to see who makes more power. It will be very close. Nick does have a slight timing advantage due to the meth injection.

Not sure. John Powell says the adjustable clutch rod has issues too and John would know.

The past four posts you have been talking to yourself. I just thought I would chime in so you have someone to talk to

I get a little over 250 miles on a tank now (freeway). It doesn't bother me. Sticking with meth and blowing my engine, due to tip in knock or pump failure, would be worse than the fuel economy.

Maybe because of the turbo vs blower? Not sure, have not really read up on that.

Not sure on the adjustment it was a PITA to install apparently as well. He did the mod to help with shifting issues but it turned out that the clutch needed more bleeding and a different type of fluid added to it.
