correct. if i did it over id go T6 but i'm tired of spending money changing setups, especially when what i have now works ridiculously well.

I was the first to try a valve (one of the first with a rear mount too, since 2004) and took a gamble that paid off huge.

trust me, lol. i appreciate everything you post up, all your findings, etc.

i dont really care if im bashed by people, hell, even my local guys give me ****, i dont care. its about making a choice and staying the course.

im already rearmount, and im going to make it the best possible. Sooner then intended.


care to explain why you would go t6 if you did it over again?? i know they are phsyically larger then the t4, and probably flow alot better on the top end. but im concerned about the ability to spool off the line, even on a brake. not sure if the difference is that big, or if its negligible or not. any thoughts\?

it doesn't use 2:1 its closer to 30% more than regular gas. Just research e85. It has a higher octane level than 93 and more like 110 or c16 performance wise but a whole lot cheaper than $8.00+ a gal

oh i was always told it burns somethin close of 2 to 1 but okay that sounds alot more resonable but yeah cam2 here is 6 dallors so i could see going to that instead if i need to run such a high octane
