If you find yourself in a situation where you have e85 regularly available i would maybe up the c/r to closer to 11:1, but other than that, sounds pretty friggin sweet!

If you're going to keep it normally aspirated the 555 injectors will likely be overkill, 370's should be more than enough for an NA application.

Also, I don't recommend the Flowmaster 40 series for the VG... they don't sound the greatest from past experience... very, very, very loud inside the car.

Ok cool. Thanks a lot.

I really don't want to have to deal with headaches every time I start the thing.

What muffler would you recommend?
