Race cars and show cars are almost two different interests completely. You can have a clean race car that can do both, but that doesn't mean you need to do mods that are counterproductive to how WELL the car races. A top mount turbo would likely do just that, in my opinion.

Nice on the gas stations, but do you know if they ever change their mix of ethanol throughout the year?
Sounds like you've got a solid plan, especially at post-550 horsepower levels...look forward to seeing it! Sequential tranny is serious money, btw...you auto or stick right now?

Thank you. I enjoy these more indepth forum talks like I said above.
Honestly Most of these stations are "Sheetz" and they have all been rebuilt within the past year so I am not to sure on their practices yet as they are all new. I expect this trend to follow and more gas stations will be being rebuilt with an E85 pump. I use an Android app called "Flex-Fuel" and it lists all stations via google maps.
Ive been puttingtogether this plan over the past few months and really loooking into everything alot and I have a great friend who knows an incredible ammount more than I do who has been able to guide me. I think the most exciting thing with this build is that the HC1 turbos LOVE high pressure airflow so it is going to allow us to utilize really small manifold piping up to the turbo which cuts down on cost, less thick piping also means more room for airflow, and give us more room to work and do crazy piping layouts.
And Im 6MT with synchrorev. And yes Seq GBs are expensive as a mother haha. Like 9.5k for gearbox and transmission. Its been a while since I looked but I beleive thats what it was haha.
