Exclamation I need some turbo input

Heres my problem my funds are limited but i want more power so these are my options but first a quick rundown of my setup.Its a 98 ta kytp tc78 turbo kit 4l60 stalled al ls2 with turbo cam and springs everything else is stock besides upgraded fuel pump and 60lb inj on a sd tune running 6.5lbs of boost making about 485rwhp on mustang dyno.Cars runs very strong it ran a 11.58 at 123 in 96 degree weather with stock rubber and a 1.92 sixty.So i can convert to e85 using a sponsor on the board who guarantees me around 700rwhp without having to forge the internals and he said it would last with the tune he is gonna give me so i would need biiger inj and dual fuel pumps thats it. about 1300 dollars all together.Or i could jus put a meth kits on and jus be at 570rwhp which would u do thx n advance

My preference would be the methanol and up the boost keeping an eye on knock and some drag radials to bring your 60' times down.

Here is what everyone is thinking.

YOU don't need more power!!! You need a better 60'!!! more power will make that very impressive 1.9 60' look even better...

Yeah i know my 60 is killing me but i forgot to mention im on the stock 10bolt so im kinda scared to push it my theory is if i can up the power i can make up for my soft launch with a 130 mph I do some street racing and i want to be able to leave soft but still be able to come screaming on the big end.When the sponsor told me e85 14lbs of boost and 750rwhp without the price of forged internals i was like yippeee.Less than 2grand or for less than 1grand do the alky kit but will only be able to run 10lbs of boost.I would really love to put a rear end but i dont have 2500 plus for it so i thought this would be the next best thing
