Viking coilover

Decided to sell my qa1 setup and ordered a full set of Viking coilovers from MWC. Excited to see how they ride.

Does anybody know if anything else I should look at upgrading to make this setup stronger or unleash more power?

Are you going E85? Only asking because of the ID1000's, which unfortunately will not allow you to hit your 1000 rwhp goal.

I thought about it hard at first, but decided to just run pump gas & meth, and probably 110 race fuel at higher boost level if needed.

I'm in a similar spot. Trying to justify the added fuel costs with E85. On the same hand, I may just end up running the Holly Dominator and run excessively large injectors at a lower duty cycle and leave me room to grow.

Very nice build sir. Huron makes some great items.

Well I sent back my pa racing k member because the stock control arms didn't like fit very well, replaced it with a bmr. Just received it yesterday, just front the looks of it I feel more comfortable running it on the street than the pa racing. Bmr is a littl heavier but looks much stronger.

Installed head studs today, was hoping to have the heads installed tonight also but realized I don't have the head dowels. Hopefully pick up a set locally tomorrow.
