Yeap. I totally understand that it will be not as powerful as it can be with running 91 octane.
However I am just concerned about safety and very nice driveability first as it is my DD.
My tuner and I both understand that e85 will definitely bring more power to the car overall, but we will do 91 octane first and then slowly transition to e85 once I get the CJM S1-SE return system which won't be for a good while and that's fine with me.

And yup, you're right haha, By not having it spin any faster is a good thing so I think the 3.0" SC pulley is a good fit right now Will lower the size later!
