Stay NA or go to the Dark Side?

I'm not looking at E85 as a plateau buster of power. In terms of power output, both will reach my goals and have plenty of reserve to hit 650-700whp with a built motor, possibly more. It runs so much cooler than 91 or 93, and don't need to run meth. With E85, I can run at lower boost levels, lower temps, and it's readily available. I can switch the tune to 91/93 if needed.

Now, if someone offers to buy my long tube headers and Y pipe with a cat and optional resonators at a price that makes it worth it to take off, I'm all ears. It's $1800 brand new and would only be worth the trouble if I sell for 3/4 the price. Now if someone offered $1800 for my full exhaust setup, I'd get rid of it and go BP with the F.I. exhaust on it. But selling stuff is a different thread and haven't put much thought into it. My exhaust sounds like no other 370Z I've heard, much higher pitched, it's an anomaly. I now have sentimental feelings toward it :P It's a PITA to part stuff off, and a big reason I'm looking at the GTM TSC kit.
