Can't have a race car and expect it to be clean. Furthermore, if I (or anyone else who respects a well done car) saw a well done race car, I wouldn't give a **** how pretty it is.

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.

I dont know everything so I welcome others ideas There are also 15 E85 stations within a 30 mile radius of me.

I know that fuel consumption will be 20-30% depending on tune but its also $.75-1 cheaper per gallon than premium here in my area. Im not too worried about VVEL as it has just been cracked and hopefully in a year or more support for it will be better. There are a handful of 600+whp Z's and G's now so they found a way to be able to do it. Honestly I havent gotten to far with anything regarding 500-550+whp as thats so far off for me so some of this I cant even answer haha. Final goal is 700whp but thats a while away. If im doing that im doing a whole new tranny and everything with sequential gearbox which most of that will come from qualife. But if im going 550+ I wont be going top mount. Im doing E85 just because I can.lol There is barely any diversity out there with this platform and I absolutely dislike that fact so im trying to be unique and just get some builds out there. In terms of heat the guys with the S&R top mounts are doing just fine btw. And I dont believe any have vented hoods....

Anyways this wil be mostly a show car and will be tracked once in a while but will only be tracked in spurts until enough testing is done to make sure everything is stable and reliable...within reason lol it is tracking after all. To accomdate that I will be doing new csc, clutch, flywheel, bigger brakes, more cooling, a bunch of other mods.

I think thats everything Im at work and there was a lot to respond to if anything doesnt make sense or was skipped...you have my apologies
Thank you, that was all I was going for (another perspective, maybe seeing something you didn't in your plans).

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?

Cody's Z is pretty fast with just his mods now, I cant imagine how nasty it'll be with a custom built turbo. I'll do the 120 miles to your house to experience the rush... hahaha
