Default Help picking next mod

Last time I had my car dyno'ed it made 524 at the wheels. I am trying to decide on my next mod. Should I go with a meth kit or use E85. Basically I am looking to pick up the most HP for the least amount of money. If I use E85 will I need to upgrade my fuel system furhter?
Thanx in advance for the help

Go read this thread on e85, I would recommend the meth since it might end up being cheaper and easier to mess with.

remember that e85 requires something like 30-35% more fuel. just a thought. or you could throw a small shot of nitrous on there

mods are in sig, I just read the major threads on e85 last night, but wasn't sure if my already upgraded fuel would need to be upgraded more

There appears to be one station near my job, but this could end up being a pain if I'm not on that side of town and I need gas.
Is E85 or meth more beneficial than the other in regards to power gains?

I would do meth. Just cus e85 around here is really few and far between and not closely regulated it might be 85% one week and 45% the next and you will probably need to do another pump ($100) bigger injectors and feed and return lines.
