Wow, allot of the responses in here sound like a bunch of entitled brats wearing skinny jeans and hair buns.

Those are the big losses, then taking off the stuff you don't need, like the underside covers, front bumper, re-enforcement brackets, front seat bar, the spare...
I get asked this alot. It's quite a bit of cash to do what I've done.
But then I look at guys that just throw a blower or turbo on and spend $10-12k on those mods, and still aren't in the 10's.
Now just imagine if I add a good tune on E85 how quick it'll be. Then add boost on top of that. Oh...
With the dyno testing I've seen so far in the 24's, e30 and other mixes have increased power. Not by much, but the factory system can read the increase in octane and will add some timing
Yes steeda ran the 127 with a different gear and some E85 mixed in.
You can run a small mix of E85 up to about 40% at best I think.
So about 1 gallon of E85 to every 3 gallons of pump gas.
JPC racing has mixed it a little hotter I think. Not exactly sure what their ratio was though...
I've used them on several of my own cars and customer cars, and they work just fine. The quality is as good as the other brands. And they make the same power.

Steeda hasn't run 128 on pump gas. In fact I don't think Scott has ever run 128 in their car yet.
Scott and I have take quite a bit and try to help each other out with what the car likes and don't like.

First passes made today, went a best of 11.25@123 with a good head wind, and my son driving for the first time in a drag strip. He did a great job.
Car weighs 3380 with half a tank of gas. Stock it weighed 3720
The interior is 100% complete, hasn't been touched yet.
